About this map

Stowe and its neighboring hamlets of Lower Village and Moscow are centered at the confluence of the West Branch and the Little River. This 1960s landscape transition is evidenced by the intersection of mountain-fed brooks like Miller Brook and Gold Brook with emerging recreation, including a Golf Course and several Reservoirs. The map's southern reach includes the settlement of Waterbury Center, where the topography shifts toward the rising peaks of the Worcester Mountains.

Local landmarks such as the Blessed Sacrament Ch and the Riverbank Cem highlight the civic history of the valley, while a Covered Bridge on the road to Stowe Hollow points to traditional infrastructure. Elevation data across Hogback Mtn and Mt Hunger defines the limits of the Mount Mansfield State Forest and Putnam State Forest, illustrating the balance between valley settlement and the heavily forested ridgelines that characterize this part of Vermont.
