About this map

Mount Mansfield and the Sterling Range dominate this landscape, illustrating the late-20th-century character of Vermont's high-country recreation and rural mountain life. The map details the rugged corridor of Smugglers Notch, flanked by distinctive landmarks like Old Smugglers Face, Bear Head, and Elephants Head. The summit ridgeline is intricately charted from The Forehead to The Chin, including high-altitude features like Lake of the Clouds and Adams Apple.

Evidence of the area's long-standing hiking and skiing heritage is visible through the Long Trail and the Toll Road, alongside landmarks such as Taft Lodge, Butler Lodge, and the State Ski Dormitory. In the lower elevations, small settlements like South Cambridge and Pleasant Valley anchor the valleys, while sites like Morses Mill and the Harvey Sch reflect the historical infrastructure of Lamoille and Chittenden counties.
