About this map

Lake Willoughby dominates the northern landscape, framed by the dramatic elevations of Mount Pisgah and Mount Hor. This region of Vermont is characterized by its high peaks and narrow valleys, where the Sutton River and W Br Passumpsic River drain the southern slopes. The map reveals a deep history of upland settlement, visible in the cluster of burial grounds like Sutton Village Cem and the uniquely named Union House King James Cem near West Ridge.

Transport routes follow the natural contours of the terrain, with roads like State Forest Hwy and the Station Rd connecting the smaller hamlets of Sutton, Summit, and Willoughby. The presence of numerous family-named peaks such as Wheeler Mountain and Grout Mountain, alongside water bodies like May Pond and Blake Pond, suggests a landscape deeply tied to local families and traditional land use during this early 21st-century period.
