About this map

Gilson Mountain rises as the central height in this Vermont landscape, where the northern foothills of the Green Mountains meet the drainage of the Lamoille River. The terrain is characterized by numerous family-named peaks and ridges, including Cobbler Hill, Coombs Hill, and Leach Hill, reflecting a long history of upland farming and land use. Small settlements such as Binghamville, West Fletcher, and Sanderson Corner serve as local anchors, connected by a network of rural roads like Fairfield Rd and Cambridge Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of small burial grounds, including the Mudgett Cem, Sanderson Cem, and Pioneer Cem, many situated near established crossroads. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the course of the Lamoille River and the industrial geography of Fairfax Falls, while the northern reaches transition into the more secluded waters of Metcalf Pond and the Fairfield River headwaters.
