About this map

Stratton Mountain and the surrounding Green Mountain heights dominate this 1892 survey of southern Vermont, reflecting a landscape defined by its high-elevation peaks and deeply carved river valleys. The local economy of the late nineteenth century is visible in the clustered settlements along the Winhall River and Ball Mountain Brook, where small villages like Bondville and Rawsonville served as vital centers for the rural population.

Genealogists can trace old family footprints across several townships, from the mills of South Londonderry to the remote dwellings of West Jamaica and Bucketville. The map captures the region before modern development, highlighting numerous alpine water bodies such as Stratton Pond and Lowell Lake that would later become focal points for recreation. The precise boundaries between Bennington and Windsor counties are clearly delineated, showing how these political lines intersect the high ridges of Bromley Mountain and Glebe Mountain.
