About this map

Hapgood State Forest and the Green Mountain National Forest dominate this mid-century topographic record of the Vermont uplands. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of Stratton Mountain and Glebe Mountain, with the Long Trail (Appalachian Trail) winding north toward Bromley Mountain. This era captures the early development of Vermont's winter recreation industry, evidenced by the Snow Valley Ski Area and Big Bromley Ski Area, alongside the older agricultural and timber patterns of the West River valley.

Local history is preserved in the placement of the Daniel Webster Historical Monument and numerous rural burial grounds like Rest Haven Cem and Riverside Cem. The map tracks the connectivity between valley settlements such as Bondville, Rawsonville, and Jamaica, showing the network of roads and the Winhall River system that once powered local mills. Down to the south, the Somerset Reservoir and its spillway mark the managed water resources of the Deerfield River drainage.
