About this map

The Gihon River and the Lamoille River converge in the southern reaches of this Vermont landscape, centering on the village of Johnson. The terrain is defined by significant elevations like Laraway Mtn and Bowen Mtn, while a portion of the Mt Mansfield State Forest covers the southwestern slopes near Prospect Rock. This mid-1980s data illustrates the rural development of the Lamoille Valley, where small settlements such as East Johnson and Belvidere Junction are connected by winding valley roads.

Local industry and natural resources are evident through numerous brooks, including Codding Brook and Butternut Brook, which drain the mountainous interior. Industrial activity is noted on the periphery with a Mine, a Sand Pit, and a Gravel Pit, reflecting the extraction economy that persists alongside the protected state forest lands. Notable geographic features like Ithiel Falls and Porcupine Hill provide distinct landmarks for those studying the physical geography and settlement patterns of this northern Vermont region.
