2024 Map of South Mountain

About this map

The New Haven River cuts through this Addison County landscape, defining the valley between the Bristol Cliffs Wilderness and the eastern edge of Middlebury. The terrain is characterized by the high peaks of the Green Mountains, including South Mtn and Robert Frost Mtn, which provide a natural backdrop to small settlements like Bristol Flats and Lincoln. The presence of several distinct burial grounds, such as Saint Therese Cem and the Munger Street Cem, offers valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing families in the region. In the more secluded areas, bodies of water like Abbey Pond and Higgins Pond are reached by trails such as the Beaver Meadow Trl, illustrating the persistent balance between early Vermont settlement patterns and the preserved environments of the Green Mountain National Forest.
