1986 Map of Sterling Mountain

About this map

The Sterling Range and the high ridges of the Green Mountains define this mid-1980s landscape at the intersection of several northern Vermont townships. Much of the western terrain is preserved within the Mt Mansfield State Forest, where notable peaks like Sterling Mtn and White Rocks rise above Beaver Meadow. The human geography is concentrated in the valleys to the east, where the Lamoille River and Little River systems drain the highlands. Local life centers around small clusters such as West Settlement and the curiously named Mud City. Industrial and civil infrastructure is represented by a Quarry near the eastern boundary and a Covered Br crossing Bohannon Brook, reflecting a mix of traditional Vermont character and active resource extraction in the late twentieth century.
