About this map

The Mad River valley defines the character of this Vermont landscape, where the village of Warren sits as a central hub at the junction of Lincoln Brook and Bradley Brook. This 1970 field-checked survey highlights a period of transition in the Mad River Valley, balancing its deep-rooted agricultural and logging identity with the growth of recreation, as seen in the Warren Sugarbush Airport and Alpine Village. The terrain is steeply defined by the Northfield Mountains and the Green Mountain National Forest, creating a narrow corridor for development and travel.

Transportation routes are hemmed in by the topography, with the Central Vermont railroad following the path of the Third Branch White River near East Granville in the southeastern corner. Notable landmarks like the Covered Bridge and Moss Glen Falls indicate a landscape where local history and natural features are closely intertwined. To the east, the Roxbury State Forest and the high pass at Roxbury Gap separate this valley from the neighboring Dog River drainage.
