1986 Map of West Dover

About this map

The Green Mountain National Forest dominates the high terrain of Windham County, where the Deerfield River and its North Branch Deerfield River carve through the narrow valleys of southern Vermont. This 1980s topographic study captures a landscape defined by small clusters of settlement such as West Dover and East Dover, alongside smaller locales like Goose City and Brookside. High peaks including Rice Hill and Cooper Hill overlook a network of mountain streams like Blue Brook and Negus Brook. To the south, Lake Raponda serves as a prominent water feature at the edge of the Wilmington boundary. The map also records mid-century infrastructure like the Mt Snow Airport, illustrating the balance between traditional timberland and the emerging recreation economy of the late 20th century.
