About this map

Stannard Mountain dominates the central terrain of this quadrangle, standing as a high point between the Lamoille River valley and the headwaters of numerous brooks. The landscape is defined by the rural settlements of Stannard and East Greensboro, which represent small clusters of development in an area otherwise characterized by timbered slopes and water bodies. The presence of the Steam Mill Brook Wildlife Management Area underscores the region's focus on conservation and natural resource management by the mid-1980s.

Downstream, the small settlement of Fairbanks Mills sits along Mill Brook, reflecting the early industrial reliance on local water power. Genealogists and historians will find interest in the scattered Cem locations and the clear delineation of township boundaries including Glover Twp, Sheffield, and Wheelock. From the waters of Coles Pond to the secluded Stannard Pond, the map details a drainage network that feeds into the larger Vermont river systems.
