About this map

New Haven Mills and West Lincoln anchor the northern reaches of this landscape, situated where the New Haven River cuts through the transition between the Champlain Valley and the higher elevations of the Green Mountain National Forest. The map captures a detailed view of the rural infrastructure of Addison County in the early 1960s, showing a network of gravel pits and local waterworks, including the Middlebury Waterworks and Middlebury Water Supply.

For genealogists and local historians, several small burial grounds are meticulously documented, such as Maple Cem, Riverside Cem, Munger Street Cem, and Case Street Cem. The terrain is defined by prominent landmarks like South Mountain and The Cobble, while numerous ponds and brooks, such as Abbey Pond and Muddy Brook, illustrate the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement and local industry along the mountain's edge.
