About this map

The Lamoille River winds through the northern portion of this Lamoille County landscape, where the historic Waterman Covered Bridge spans the water near the intersection of River Rd E and Waterman Rd. This 2021 survey reveals a rugged interior dominated by the Green Mountains and the Sterling Range, featuring peaks such as Sterling Mtn and White Rocks. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and small, isolated burial grounds including the Old Catholic Cem and Bidwell French Hill Cem.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around Hyde Park and the aptly named Red Bridge, while the western slopes contain the high-altitude West Settlement. The network of local roads and trails, such as the Mud City Loop and Beaver Meadow Rd, navigate around prominent features like Bull Moose Hill and Roundtop. This map provides a contemporary view of these traditional Vermont landforms, tracing the drainages of Smith Brook, Sterling Brook, and Peterson Brook as they descend from the granite heights.
