1986 Map of Weston

About this map

The West River carves a deep valley through the heart of this Vermont landscape, defining the layout of the historic village of Weston. Established as a mountain settlement, the area's development follows the narrow corridors of the Greendale Brook and Utley Brook, where local roads trace the lower elevations between massive peaks like Terrible Mountain and Peabody Hill. To the north, the Weston Priory sits quietly along the river, a notable landmark in a region dominated by the dense woodlands of the Green Mountain National Forest and the Okemo State Forest. High-elevation landmarks such as Holt Mtn and Markham Mountain provide a clear view of the complex terrain that separated the early communities of North Landgrove and Weston. This survey captures the rural character of the region before modern expansion, highlighting the isolation of sites like Moses Pond and the unique landform known as The Island near the river bend.
