you should read up on Marsh. if it wasn't for his writings on conservation* and a little help from some friends VT would have been completely buzz cut for its resources (and there were those who tried hard too). Billings was a heck of a lawyer (so few there are) did his job so well they named a city out your way after him plus what he did to continue the the idea of stewardship. after that the Rockefellers who maintained that area further and then put it in the hands of the NPS.
there is a bit of history up there as to why you were able to get that neat pic. you know "more then meets the eye"
*Between the 1830s and 1860s he developed a philosophy of land stewardship which laid the foundation for the conservation movement in the United States with the 1864 publication of Man and Nature, or the Physical Geography as Modified by Human Behavior. pretty deep read.
don't forget that other land mass south of todays political boundaries. quite well connected for travel.
