About this map

The Green Mountain National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, a terrain of high peaks and isolated valley settlements before the arrival of modern interstate connectivity. The Long Trail and Appalachian Trail wind through the western high ground, passing Stratton Mountain and the Stratton Lookout Tower. In the valleys, established villages like Londonderry and South Londonderry follow the course of the West River, while smaller hamlets such as French Hollow and Podunk reflect the traditional upland settlement patterns of Vermont's southern interior.

A significant historical marker, the Daniel Webster Historical Mon, stands near the Stratton town line, commemorating the site of a mass political gathering. The map captures the infrastructure of the era, from the Somerset Reservoir in the south to the Winhall Sta on the river. Numerous small burial grounds, including Rest Haven Cem and Glebe View Cem, alongside local institutions like Grahamville Sch, provide essential data for genealogists tracing family roots in Windham County.
