About this map

Woodford and the surrounding high country of the Green Mountains define this mid-century landscape in Bennington County. This survey, grounded in field checks from 1954, reveals a topography dominated by summits like Glastenbury Mtn, topped with the Lookout Tower Glastenbury. The drainage pattern is intricate, with numerous brooks such as Bolles Brook and Mill Pond Brook carving deep valleys like Bickford Hollow.

The presence of Glastenbury Camp and Fay Fuller Camp alongside the Long Trail reflects the area's established role in backcountry recreation and forestry. Water management is evident in the south, where Big Pond, Adams Reservoir, and Red Mill Pond collect mountain runoff. For historians, the map preserves the alignment of the Stark Trail and Kelly Camp Trail before modern development altered these traditional mountain routes.
