1961 Map of Pico Peak

About this map

Pico Peak dominates the southern skyline of this 1961 survey, a landscape defined by the intersection of early outdoor recreation and traditional rural Vermont life. The map documents the mid-century expansion of Ski Lifts on the slopes of the Coolidge Range, while maintaining the wild character of the Green Mountain National Forest. Central to this area is Sherburne Pass, where the Long Trail and the Appalachian Trail converge near Deer Leap Rock, a hub for hikers and travelers long before the modern resort era.
