About this map

Mount Carmel and the surrounding peaks of the Green Mountain National Forest dominate this mid-2010s survey. The landscape is defined by its deep gaps and high summits, including Farr Peak, Gillespie Peak, and the sheer face of The Great Cliff. These topographical features dictate the paths of early travel routes like Brandon Mountain Rd through Brandon Gap.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-documented burial sites such as the Oliver Reynolds Cem and Bingo Cem in the northeast, along with the Bump Cem and Wetmore Cem further south. The settlement of Michigan is noted near the W Br Tweed River, reflecting the sparse but enduring habitation of these mountain valleys. From Souphouse Flat to Beaver Meadows, the map preserves the names of distinct meadows, springs like Boiling Spring, and numerous brooks that carve through the Green Mountain terrain.
