About this map

Otter Creek and the Vermont R R corridor anchor the western edge of this mid-century survey, where the village of Wallingford serves as a primary gateway to the Green Mountains. The landscape transitions from the valley floor to the high elevations of the Green Mountain National Forest, marked by peaks like Mount Tabor and Buckball Peak. A network of historic paths, including the famous Long Trail, traverses the ridge lines, connecting remote water bodies such as Little Rock Pond and Griffith Lake.

Evidence of early mountain industry and social life remains visible through labels like Ten Kilns and Old Job, while the eastern slopes descend toward the headwaters of the West River at Weston. Along the Mill River, the Green Mountain R R winds through Cuttingsville and Healdville, passing through the high gap at Summit. Small communities such as Belmont and Landgrove are detailed with their local infrastructure, including the Landgrove Sch and several remote burial grounds like Laurel Glen Cem.
