Abstract
Green, forest-covered mountains and hills, winding valleys with farmhouses surrounded by boulder strewn hayfields, cattle scattered upon the rocky slopes and in woodland pastures, boulder laden streams- this is the picture which Marlboro Town, in Windham County, Vermont conveys to one who surveys its landscape from any hilltop site. It is a typical New England town, located in southeastern Vermont, in the midst of the Green Mountains.
Physiographically Marlboro Town is located in the "Appalachian Highland Division in the New England Province, and the Green Mountain Section, which consists of linear ranges of old subdued mountains", long and severely deformed, and now widely denuded, that have undergone elevation, glaciation, and dissection. It may be called a partial peneplain with many monadnocks.
