About this map

Pico Peak and the surrounding high country of the Coolidge Range dominate this late-1990s landscape, serving as a hub for both wilderness preservation and winter recreation. The intersection of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and the Long National Recreation Trail highlights the importance of this terrain to the regional hiking network, supported by landmarks like the Rolston Rest Shelter and Tucker Johnson Shelter.

Down in the valleys, the Tweed River South Branch and Ottauquechee River define the local topography, providing drainage for summits such as Sable Mtn and Deer Leap Mountain. Human activity is concentrated along the corridors near North Sherburne and Sherburne Center (Killington PO). For genealogists and local historians, the South Hill Cem and family-named landmarks like Taylor Pinnacle and Doubleday Mtn provide essential geographic touchstones for the area's residency history.
