About this map

Lincoln and South Lincoln anchor this high-elevation landscape where the New Haven River cuts through the mountains. The town centers are supported by local landmarks like the Lincoln Community Sch and the Lee Cem, while the surrounding terrain is dominated by the ridges of the Green Mountain National Forest. The eastern edge of the map features a significant stretch of the Long Trail as it traverses major peaks including Mt Abraham, Mt Grant, and Mt Cleveland.

A network of drainage systems, including Beaver Meadow Brook and Cots Brook, feeds into the valley floor. The map highlights the transition from the settled areas of Lincoln and Ripton to the protected land of the Breadloaf Wilderness. Hikers and land researchers will find several remote waypoints, such as the Battell Shelter and Cooley Glen Shelter, along with the steep pass at Lincoln Gap, reflecting the area's long-standing character as a crossroads for Vermont mountain travel.
