About this map

Eden Mills and the village of Eden serve as the primary hubs in this Lamoille County landscape, situated along the upper reaches of the Gihon River. The settlement pattern is defined by narrow valley corridors between the Green Mountains and prominent heights like Bean Mtn. Local family history is well-preserved through several burial sites, including the Dodge Cem to the north and the North Hyde Park Cem near the southern cluster of North Hyde Park.

A notable geographic curiosity is the Upper Diggings located east of Rush Pond, suggesting a history of resource extraction in the hills. The map details an extensive network of water bodies, from the larger Lake Eden and Green River Reservoir to smaller basins like Ritterbush Pond and Round Pond. These water features and the complex drainage of brooks like Fryingpan Brook illustrate the hydrography that once powered local mills and shaped the development of these Vermont communities.
