DescriptionReproduction of a map of Vermont, from the border of Canada to the north, the border of New Hampshire to the east, the border of Massachusetts to the south, and the Border of New York to the west. Vermont is divided into counties and towns, both of which are labeled. Man-made features include villages, marked with circles, roads and Dartmouth College, the only building depicted. Natural features include rivers, lakes and mountains, with elevation conveyed through clusters of shaded triangles. The decorative cartouche shows a natural scene, with tall fir trees, smaller bushy plants with their roots hanging down around the title, and a waterfall cascading over rocks.
