1997 Map of Sunderland

About this map

The Batten Kill river valley anchors this map of the Green Mountains, showcasing a landscape where high-altitude wilderness meets pockets of human settlement. While the town of Sunderland sits in the northwest, much of the terrain is defined by the Green Mountain National Forest and the protected Lye Brook Wilderness. This 1990s revision reveals the intricate network of hiking routes including the Long Trail and Appalachian Trail, which traverse ridges like Winhall Spur and pass remote waypoints such as Story Spring Shelter and Caughnawaga Shelter. Evidence of historic mountain life and industry appears at Fayville and Kelley Stand, alongside a Gravel Pit near the river. The map details a complex hydrography of ponds and brooks, from Bourn Pond in the northeast to the Glastenbury River in the south, reflecting the rugged, water-rich environment of southern Vermont.
