2012 Map of Governors Mountain

About this map

The Green River Covered Bridge serves as a focal point for this area of southern Vermont, where the Green River cuts a deep path through the highlands of Windham County. Small, established settlements like Marlboro, West Guilford, and Guilford Center are connected by a network of winding roads such as Ames Hill Rd and Hinesburg Rd. This landscape is characterized by its numerous family-named peaks and ridges, including Governors Mountain, Ginseng Hill, and Pulpit Mountain. Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through a high density of small burial grounds, from the First Cem near Marlboro to the Thomas Hill Bell-Phelps Cem and Winchester Cem. The presença of Marlboro College and the Moss Hollow Campground suggests a mix of educational and recreational use in this forested terrain during the early 21st century.
