About this map

The Green Mountain National Forest dominates this Vermont landscape, defined by the major recreational developments and water management systems of the late 20th century. The prominent Mount Snow Ski Area and Haystack Mountain Ski Area occupy the eastern ridges, while the vast Somerset Reservoir to the north and the smaller Searsburg Reservoir to the south regulate the flow of the Deerfield River.

Tracing the boundaries between Stratton, Somerset, Dover, and Searsburg, the map highlights the sparse settlement patterns typical of this mountainous region. Local history is anchored by the site of Somerset, where a solitary Cem remains near the river banks, and the small village of Searsburg tucked along the southern edge. The presence of the Hermitage Ski Touring Center and various ski lifts reflects the area's established identity as a premier winter sports destination by the late 1990s.
