About this map

Bromley Mountain and the high ridges of the Green Mountains dominate this mid-1980s landscape, which is heavily shaped by large protected tracts including the Hapgood State Forest and the Lye Brook Wilderness Area. The mapping shows the Long Appalachian Trail winding through the high country, a testament to the region's enduring character as a recreational and conservation hub.

Lower elevations are defined by the Winhall River and numerous mountain streams like Mad Tom Brook and French Hollow Brook. Settlement is concentrated in the small villages of Peru, Bondville, and East Dorset, where local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Peru Cem and the small Landing Field near the Winhall. The map records the intersection of wild timberlands and high-altitude development, showcasing the complex terrain of the Green Mountain National Forest.
