1967 Map of Arlington

About this map

The Batten Kill winds through a valley of varied Vermont settlements in the late 1960s, linking the village of Arlington with the smaller communities of West Arlington and East Arlington. The geography reveals a distinct social fabric defined by valley-floor agriculture and industrial traces, such as the Gravel Pit near the riverbanks. High ridges like Big Spruce Mountain and Grass Mountain dominate the western portion of the sheet, while the eastern side is defined by the Green Mountain National Forest and the residential cluster at Chiselville. Genealogists may find interest in local landmarks like Evergreen Cem or the smaller Cem in the hills, while the mapping of the Fisher Sch and Mt Pleasant Sch preserves the location of rural education centers before further consolidation. The Vermont railroad line runs north-south, following the lower terrain near Lake Shaftsbury and the southern town line.
