About this map

Lincoln and the mountain ridge of the Green Mountains define this high-elevation survey, documenting the rugged terrain before modern development. The map traces the famous Long Trail as it traverses prominent peaks including Mt Abraham, Lincoln Peak, and Stark Mtn. The settlement pattern follows the valley of the Mad River, where Waitsfield, Irasville, and Warren serve as centers for the upland agricultural and timber communities.

Local history details are abundant, particularly the numerous numbered district schools like No 7 School and named institutions such as the South Olive School. In the south, the Central Vermont railroad skirts the eastern edge near East Granville, providing a vital link for the valley's resources. From the cascades at Moss Glen Falls to remote shelters like Battell Lodge, the map captures a Vermont landscape still deeply tied to its mountain topography and rural school districts.
