Incomplete record. Highest elevation in this range is Mount Mansfield. Extends from the Massachusetts-Vermont boundary through the State of Vermont from south to north to the Vermont-Canadian border, keeping a middle course between the Connecticut River on the east, and Lake Champlain on the west. From the Massachusetts-Vermont boundary to southern Washington County, this range continues lofty and unbroken through by any considerable streams dividing the counties of Windham, Windsor, and Orange, from the counties of Bennington, Rutland, and Addison. In the southern part of Washington county, the Green Mountains separate into two ranges. The highest range continues north along the eastern boundaries of the counties of Chittenden and Franklin, while the other, called the "height of lands", strikes off to the northeast through the southeastern part of Washington county, and the western part of Caledonia county. The height of lands separates the waters which fall into the Connecticut River in the northern part of the state, from those which flow into the lakes of Lake Champlain and Lake Memphremagog. The height of the range in nearly uniform, exhibiting no prominent elevations. It diminishes as it approaches the Canadian boundary. The western range is high and precipitous, having been broken through by Lamoille River and Winooski River. This range presents some of the most lofty summits in the state, particularly Camels Hump and Mansfield Mountains.
