About this map

Green Mountain National Forest dominates the western landscape of this Windham County region, where the steep terrain of the southern Green Mountains transitions into the settled valleys of Dover and West Dover. The drainage of the North Branch Deerfield River serves as a primary corridor for development, including the Mt Snow Airport and a local Golf Course. Scattered mountain cemeteries, marked simply as Cem, are found near Johnson Hill and East Dover, offering critical touchpoints for genealogical research in these high-elevation townships.

Water and wilderness define the eastern half of the map, characterized by numerous brooks such as Negus Brook and Bemis Brook that carve through the hills. The southern edge features Lake Raponda, a significant recreation point near the Wilmington boundary. This late 20th-century revision captures a mix of traditional Vermont village centers and modern infrastructure, including several Mobile Home Parks and a Sewage Treatment Plant, illustrating the evolving land use in this mountain community.
