KNOWOL made this map in 2026 from public survey data and gave it the look of an old county atlas, shading the hills from United States Geological Survey elevation data and drawing the roads and town line from the Census Bureau. Killington covers 46.9 square miles of the Green Mountains, and the Ottauquechee River begins here. Click here to purchase a print of this map for your wall.
Killington, Sherburne, Killington
New Hampshire granted the town as Killington on July 7, 1761. In 1763 its big mountain was known as Pisgah. The town organized on March 2, 1795, and John Anthony was its first representative, starting in 1798. In 1800 the town was renamed Sherburne for a landholder, Colonel Benjamin Sherburne. Almost two hundred years later, on March 2, 1999, voters chose to go back to the original name, and the change became official on July 1, 1999.
Mission Farm sits at 316 Mission Farm Road, across the Ottauquechee from the ski resort. Josiah Wood Jr., whose father was one of Killington’s early settlers, built the farmhouse about 1817, raised a large family there and kept a tavern. In 1894 his daughter, Elizabeth Wood Clement, bought the farm back and gave it to the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont as a mission. The Church of Our Saviour, a Gothic Revival church of Vermont granite designed by the Rutland architect Arthur H. Smith, went up across the road in 1894 and 1895. It’s been on the National Register since 1992.

Two mountains and two trails
Killington Peak is the second highest summit in Vermont, and Killington Ski Resort, which opened in 1958, is on the mountain. Its page calls it the largest ski area in the eastern U.S. Pico, 3 miles north of Killington Peak, opened on Thanksgiving Day in 1937, one of the first commercial ski resorts in the state, and its page says the first T-bar lift in the United States began running there in 1940. The Mead family founded Pico, and their daughter, Andrea Mead Lawrence, won two gold medals in skiing at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo. Killington bought Pico in 1997, and the two still run as separate ski areas.
The top of Sherburne Pass, between Pico Peak and Deer Leap Mountain, is in Killington. The Long Trail and the Appalachian Trail share a route over Killington Peak, and its page says that for hikers heading south it’s the last 4,000-foot peak close to the trail until Virginia. North of the pass, the Appalachian Trail turns east toward New Hampshire and runs through Gifford Woods State Park and around Kent Pond. The park, started in 1931, keeps an old-growth forest that became a National Natural Landmark in 1980, and the Civilian Conservation Corps built its road, ranger house and picnic area in 1933 and 1934.
On the map, follow Killington Road and East Mountain Road, then River Road, Oxbow Road, South Park Road and Alpine Drive. North Sherburne, South Sherburne and Sherburne Center are printed, and so are Killington Village, Telemark Village, The Woods and West Bridgewater, with Kent Pond, Colton Pond and Pico Pond. Killington dates to 1761.
