2021 Map of Mount Ellen

About this map

Mt Ellen and the high peaks of the Green Mountains dominate this survey of the central Vermont wilderness, where the long-distance Long Trl follows the spine of the range. The landscape is defined by its significant elevation changes, crossing through Appalachian Gap and Huntington Gap while passing over summits like Nancy Hanks Peak and Stark Mtn. Settlement is confined to the narrow valleys and lower slopes, with small communities like Jerusalem, Hanksville, and Downingville serving as focal points for local history. For genealogists, the map identifies small burial grounds such as Gore Cem and Little Ireland Cem, which are tucked away near watercourses like the Huntington River and Lewis Cr. Much of the eastern and southern portion of the quadrangle is protected within the Green Mountain National Forest, preserving the wooded character of the headwaters for Mill Brook and Slide Brook.
