2018 Map of Gilson Mountain

About this map

Gilson Mtn and the surrounding peaks of the Green Mountains dominate this rural Vermont landscape, which transition into the fertile lowlands along the Lamoille River. The settlement pattern is characterized by scattered villages such as Fletcher, Binghamville, and Sanderson Corner, connected by a network of winding roads like Buck Hollow Rd and Taylor Rd. The southern portion of the map is defined by the river's path through Fairfax Falls and past Cambridge, where the terrain flattens toward the Franklin and Chittenden County line. Local history is deeply embedded in the geography, with numerous small burial grounds such as Pioneer Cem, Giddings Cem, and Mudgett Cem located near family-named landmarks like Coombs Hill and Ellenwood Hill. The presence of Metcalf Pond and Halfmoon Pond amidst the high ground illustrates the typical glacial topography of north-central Vermont.
