1963 Map of South Mountain

About this map

New Haven River winds through the northern valley of this landscape, anchoring the small communities of West Lincoln and New Haven Mills. The terrain is dominated by the steep western escarpment of the Green Mountain National Forest, where heights like South Mountain and The Cobble rise sharply above the agricultural lowlands of Bristol Flats. This mid-century survey reveals a network of rural roads such as Munger Street and Case Street, which connect several family and community burial grounds, including the Munger Street Cem and Riverside Cem. The infrastructure for local utilities is evident through the Middlebury Water Supply and the Middlebury Waterworks at the southern edge. Pockets of high-elevation water, like Abbey Pond and North Pond, sit within the heavily forested uplands, contrasting with the active Gravel Pits found along the valley floor.
