1997 Map of Mount Ellen

About this map

Huntington River flows through a landscape defined by the spine of the Green Mountains, where the high ridges of Mount Ellen and Molly Stark Mountain separate the rural communities of Hanksville, Jerusalem, and Downingville. This era reflects the established winter sports industry, with the Mad River Glen Ski Area and Mt Ellen At Sugarbush Ski Area marking the steep slopes of the eastern flank. The Long Trail follows the high drainage divide, connecting peaks such as Nancy Hanks Peak and Cutts Peak. Local heritage is anchored by small rural burial grounds like Little Ireland Cem and Gore Cem, while the Fayston Sch serves the dispersed mountain residents. Numerous brooks, including French Brook and German Flats Brook, drain these heights into the surrounding valleys, illustrating the classic Vermont pattern of narrow hill farms and upland forests.
