Niquette Bay of the Past

If I could speculate as to how Niquette Bay looked 400 years ago I would say that it probably looked similar to how it did today except further along in succession. If you look at the above map it is clear that Vermont was not settled at such an early date, the main colonies were still along the coast. Vermont was not likely completely cleared for farming yet, so it is safe to say that Niquette bay would be a magnificent old growth forest 400 years ago.
