About this map

Worcester Mountains dominate this central Vermont landscape, creating a high-relief divide along the Lamoille County and Washington County border. The 2015 survey details a region where steep elevation changes dictate the flow of numerous watercourses, including Moss Glen Brook, which features the notable Moss Glen Falls. The drainages of the North Branch Winooski River and Hancock Brook define the valleys, where human activity is concentrated along the historic Elmore Rd and Montpelier Morrisville St.

Evidence of early settlement patterns remains visible in the siting of the Village Cem and Mountain Cem near the southern edge of the sheet. High-altitude landmarks like Mount Worcester, Hampshire Hill, and Hobart Mtn are surrounded by more remote features such as Worcester Ponds and the secluded Hardwood Pond. The map serves as a detailed guide for understanding how the local road network, including Eagle Ledge Rd and Worcester Rdg, negotiates the complex terrain of the Green Mountain interior.
