2012 Map of Lincoln

About this map

Lincoln and South Lincoln anchor this high-elevation landscape in the Green Mountains, where the terrain is defined by a north-south ridgeline including Mount Abraham, Mount Roosevelt, and Bread Loaf Mountain. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley of the New Haven River and its numerous tributaries like Beaver Meadow Brook and Cota Brook. Local genealogy is well-represented by family and community burial grounds, including the Lee Cem, Pope Cem, and the uniquely named Eubar Odette Cem near Prospect Rock. A notable cultural feature is The Natural Turnpike, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle near Cobb Hill. This 2012 data shows the modern persistence of historic mountain passes like Lincoln Gap and the network of shelters along the ridge, such as Battell Shelter and Emily Proctor Shelter, which serve the long-distance trail system through the National Forest.
