Geographical characteristic

The state of Vermont on the map looks elongated from north to south. Its territory is divided into 6 geographical regions:

Green mountains, which are part of the Appalachian mountain system. The ridge stretches for 260 km from south to north just west of the central part of the state. The highest peak is Mount Mansfield, 1340 m. The summit is located in the city of Underhill, Chittenden County.
In the southwestern part of the state, the Green Mountains are bordered by the Taconic Mountains, which are smaller than the former in height. The highest point – Mount Equinox reaches 1175 m above sea level. The summit is located in the city of Manchester in Burlington County.
North of the Taconic Mountains and west of the Greens lies the Champlain Lowland, a vast plain of fertile land. It extends around the lake of the same name and captures part of the state’s northern border with Canada.
South and east of the Taconic Mountains, the Champlain Lowlands merge into the Vermont Valley. Its territory is crossed by many small rivers and streams.
East of the Green Mountains begins the foothills of Vermont. It is a plain that turns into hills. Along the foothills flows the Connecticut River, on the opposite bank of which the state of New Hampshire originates.
The foothills of Vermont, gradually rising, pass into the Northeast Highlands. It is known for its granite peaks, cut by streams.

Relief. The maximum height above the sea is 1340 m (Mount Mansfield), the minimum is 30 m (Lake Champlain). 78% of the area of the state is occupied by forests.

Burlington

The largest city is located in the eastern part of the state, between Lake Champlain and the Green Mountains. Burlington is based on the coast of the lake, north of Shelburne Bay. This location is the reason for frequent local snow squalls, which result in up to 33 cm of snow falling in 12 hours.

South Burlington

The city is the seat of Chittenden County, which surrounds Burlington to the south and east. To the east and southeast, the Green Mountains begin, and in the southwest direction, Lake Champlain. The Winooski River flows through the northern part of the city, one of the main rivers in the state of Vermont.

Essex

Vermont’s third largest city is also in Chittenden County. Essex is located in the central part and is washed by the Winooski River on the south side. On the territory of the city is the reservoir of Indian Brook, which is the center of the reserve of the same name.
