About this map

Sunderland sits at the base of the Green Mountains, where the Batten Kill river valley meets the high-elevation terrain of the Green Mountain National Forest. This modern mapping of Bennington County reveals a landscape where valley settlements like East Kansas are connected by the historic Kelley Stand Rd to remote interior locales such as Fayville and MacIntyre. The high peaks and plateaus are dominated by the Lye Brook Wilderness, a protected area featuring significant water bodies like Bourn Pond and the Lye Brook Meadows.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise locations of the Purdy Family Cem and the Ira Allen Cem near the river. The map also traces the long-distance route of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it traverses the ridges, following the rugged topography between Catamount Cobble and the headwaters of the Glastenbury River. This data provides a detailed view of the modern trail systems and forest service roads that define current land use in the region.
