1961 Map of Pico Peak

About this map

Pico Peak and the surrounding Coolidge Range dominate this Vermont landscape, where the Appalachian Trail and Long Trail intersect near Sherburne Pass. The map captures a moment in the mid-20th century before the significant expansion of modern alpine infrastructure, showing the early footprints of ski lifts on the western slopes of the peak. Along the valley floor, the Ottauquechee River and South Branch Tweed River define the settlement patterns, with Sherburne Center and North Sherburne serving as local hubs. For those interested in regional heritage, the sheet identifies historic markers like the Sherburne Valley Sch and Riverside Cem. The preservation of the terrain is evident through the overlapping boundaries of the Green Mountain National Forest and Gifford Woods State Forest Park, which protect landmarks like Deer Leap Mountain and Colton Pond.
