2012 Map of Mount Ellen

About this map

The high ridges of the Green Mountains define the landscape here, dominated by summits such as Mount Ellen, Cutts Peak, and Stark Mountain. This early 21st-century topographic survey reveals the intersection of Vermont’s recreational economy and its historic rural settlements. To the east, the Sugarbush Valley Ski Area and Mad River Glen Ski Area utilize the steep terrain, while the valleys host small hamlets like Hanksville and Downingville. The map serves as a detailed guide for local history, marking the locations of Gore Cem, Little Ireland Cem, and Jerusalem Cem. Notable hiking infrastructure is visible along the heights, including the Theron Dean Shelter and the passage through Appalachian Gap. Below the peaks, the Huntington River and its various tributaries, such as Beaver Meadow Brook and Hallock Brook, create the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement and road placement like Gore RD and Jerusalem RD.
