2012 Map of Mount Snow

About this map

Somerset Reservoir and the Searsburg Reservoir anchor the water-power landscape of this Windham County region, where the Deerfield River carves its way through the mountains. The area is defined by its evolution into a premiere winter recreation destination, with the large footprints of the Mount Snow Ski Resort, Carinthia Ski Area, and Haystack Mountain Ski Area dominating the eastern slopes. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of early settlement history, preserving the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds including Somerset Cem, Alden Cem, and Smead Hill Cem. Small centers like Somerset and Searsburg remain distinct, while the winding paths of Tannery RD and Vose Brook suggest the rugged infrastructure of earlier mountain industry. From the high peak of Mount Snow to the quiet of Shep Meadow, the map illustrates a landscape where traditional Vermont land use meets modern recreational development.
