2021 Map of Peru

About this map

Green Mountains terrain dominates this portion of Bennington County, where the high ridgelines of the Green Mountain National Forest overlook the valley settlements. The crest of Bromley Mtn and Spruce Peak serve as significant landmarks along the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, which winds through the western reaches of the quadrangle. In the lower elevations, the Winhall River and its numerous tributaries like Bromley Brook and Cook Brook carve through the landscape, supporting the communities of Peru and Bondville. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Village Cem and North Cem near Peru, and the Middletown Cem located along the winding path of Old Town Rd. The presence of Mad Tom Notch Rd and various forest corridors highlights the long-standing network of timber and transit routes through this mountainous region.
