About this map

The Green Mountain National Forest dominates this Vermont landscape, defined by high-elevation water bodies and the peaks of the Green Mountains. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the western half of the quadrangle, passing near Stratton Pond and through the Lye Brook Wilderness Area. This area serves as a significant hydrological headwaters region, where the East Branch Deerfield River flows south into the expansive Somerset Reservoir.

Evidence of the region's human geography is sparse but present, including a small Cem near the northeastern slopes of Stratton Mountain. The topography is marked by glacial features like Little Pond and Bourn Pond, while the southern reaches show the intricate shoreline of the reservoir, including Streeter Island. Drainage patterns like Wardsboro Brook and Kidder Brook carve deep valleys through the town boundaries of Stratton and Somerset.
