About this map

Lake Saint Catherine dominates the northern landscape of this Vermont and New York border region, surrounded by a cluster of peaks including Saint Catherine Mtn and Barker Mtn. The settlement of Wells sits south of the lake's narrows, where Wells Brook feeds into Little Lake. This modern survey illustrates the enduring agricultural and residential patterns of the area, with numerous family and community burial sites like Stiles Cem and Barden Cem scattered through the hills and hollows.

The rugged eastern terrain is defined by a succession of high points, from Northeast Mtn to The Cobble, while the Mettawee River carves a path through the southern valley near North Pawlet. The map provides detailed road networks, from the established Lake Saint Catherine State Pk access to rural routes like Bullfrog Hollow Rd, reflecting the blend of seasonal recreation and year-round rural life in these border highlands.
