BEFORE TOURISM
Before the resort map
The linked local overview does not preserve a clear account of Killington before modern tourism.
This edition leaves that part of the timeline open rather than mistaking the first surviving sporting reference for the beginning of the place.

ACCESS CHANGES
A route reaches Killington
The surviving overview does not identify one decisive access date for Killington.
This edition therefore leaves that date open rather than turning gradual change into a false single event.

THE LIVING MAP
The mapped place
Killington is recorded at 43.621° N, 72.796° W. Its catalogue reference reaches 1,293 metres. A modern resort map compresses terrain, exposure and access into a diagram. This exhibition keeps the underlying contour visible so the place does not become only a list of facilities.
