About this map

The Mad River valley serves as a central artery through this 1919 landscape, connecting the high ridges of the Green Mountains with the agricultural and industrial settlements of Waitsfield, Warren, and Moretown. Surveyed by Hersey Munroe and W.H.S. Morey, the map documents a decentralized educational system through numerous numbered and named district houses, such as Gove School and the South Olive School.

Transport and recreation intersect at the high gaps of the range, where trails and roads cross at Appalachian Gap and Lincoln Gap. The presence of Battell Lodge and Proctor Lodge indicates an early 20th-century landscape beginning to favor mountain recreation alongside traditional timber and valley farming. Along the eastern edge, the Central Vermont railroad skirts the corner at East Granville, while peaks like Mt Ellen and Mt Abraham define the rugged western boundary of Washington County.
