About this map

Calvin Coolidge State Forest dominates this Windsor County landscape, framing a region deeply connected to presidential history and rural Vermont industry in the mid-1960s. The village of Plymouth serves as a focal point, noted specifically for the Calvin Coolidge Birthplace and the nearby Plymouth Notch Cem. The terrain is defined by steep ridges and narrow valleys, where the Ottauquechee River and Black River gather their headwaters.

Settlement patterns follow these watercourses, with clusters at Bridgewater Corners and Plymouth Union. Local industry is evidenced by several Gravel Pit locations and a Quarry near Plymouth Notch, while the emergence of the modern recreation economy is marked by the Round Top Mtn Ski Area. This survey documents a quiet era of transition, preserving the names of old family-named landmarks like Raymond Hill and Southgate Mountain alongside established state conservation lands.
