About this map

Killington Peak and the high summits of the Coolidge Range dominate this landscape, which is defined by the intersections of state and national forest lands. The terrain is a network of ridges and watercourses, including the Ottauquechee River and Woodward Reservoir in the east, and the Cold River drainage to the west. Evidence of the region’s recreational and conservation heritage is prominent, with the Appalachian Long Trail and Bucklin Trail winding through the Green Mountain National Forest and Calvin Coolidge State Forest.

Settlement patterns follow the lower elevations and valley floors. Near North Shrewsbury, local history is anchored by the Northam Sch and Northam Cem, while the Mission Chapel sits near the northern boundary. This late-20th-century revision captures the area’s transition into a major recreation hub, indicated by the development around Snowden Peak and the presence of numerous ski lifts and communication towers on the highest peaks.
