About this map

Stone Mountain and its surrounding peaks define this corner of Essex County, where the topography transitions into a dense network of high-altitude ponds and drainage systems. The landscape is marked by numerous family-named peaks and cemeteries, indicating a long history of upland settlement and land use. Boyce Cem, Stuart Cem, and Spaulding Cem are preserved among the ridges, offering valuable landmarks for genealogical research in this part of Vermont.

Drainage patterns here are complex, with waters flowing through Cutler Mill Brook, Neal Brook, and Catbow Brook. High-elevation water bodies like Cow Mountain Pond and Mud Pond sit tucked between summits such as Harris Mtn and Sable Mtn. The road network, including Granby Rd and Dead Mans Rst, follows the natural contours of the gaps and valleys, illustrating the historical constraints on travel through this elevated terrain.
