2012 Map of Mount Carmel

About this map

Green Mountain National Forest dominates this topographic study of the Vermont wilderness, centered on the high peaks and gap crossings that define the local terrain. The map traces the historical footprints of small mountain communities at Goshen Four Corners and the settlement of Michigan, providing a clear view of how early residents navigated the steep topography of Mount Carmel and Mount Horrid. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial grounds, including the Oliver Reynolds Cem, West Hill Cem, and Bump Cem. The landscape is a network of steep drainages, such as the colorfully named Puss and Kill Brook and Slab Bridge Brook, which flow toward the Neshobe River and W Br Tweed River. From the heights of The Great Cliff to the lowlands of Beaver Meadows, the map details a land of seasonal camps and forest management.
