About this map

The Batten Kill river valley anchors this late-1960s Vermont landscape, where the bustling hubs of Manchester Center and Manchester Depot serve as the commercial core. The region's educational and social history is prominent, featuring the Burr-Barton Seminary and several long-established burial grounds like Dellwood Cem and Factory Point Cem. The Vermont Railway corridor traces the valley floor, connecting the primary settlements to northern outposts such as East Dorset and South Dorset.

To the west, the massif of Equinox Mountain rises sharply, its slopes carved by landmarks like Lookout Rock and Table Rock. This terrain contrasts with the recreation-focused developments in the valley, including the Ekwanok Country Club and the Southern Vermont Art Center. The eastern portion is dominated by the Green Mountain National Forest, where the Long Trail and Appalachian Trail provide passage through the high country near Prospect Rock.
