Scenery

Cabot, in northeastern Washington County, north-central Vermont, is in the Central Plateau. It is 1,200 to 2,000 feet high, about one-third of Vermont, east of the Green Mountain range. The plateau has narrow stream valleys and flattened ridge tops. Northern valleys are shallower and broader and ridge tops are broader and smoother than in southern  Vermont.

The Central Plateau is the largest agricultural area of Vermont. It specializes in dairy farming, especially in the north. Maple products, wood, timber, potatoes, and poultry are secondary.

Cabot is beautiful. The picturesque "upper village" lies in a valley that straddles the Winooski, Vermont's longest river. Cabot is just south of Vermont's "Northeast Kingdom." It is six miles square, bordered north by Walden and Vermont Route 15, east by Joe's Pond, West Danville, Peacham, and U.S. Route 2, south by Marshfield, and west by Woodbury.

Hills, east and west of the village, run north and south. Other hills, in East Cabot, have scenic vistas toward Danville and Peacham. map & photos
