About this map

The Batten Kill valley serves as the central corridor for this mid-1960s survey, documenting the settlements of Arlington, West Arlington, and East Arlington along its banks. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the river bottomlands and the steep slopes of Big Spruce Mountain and Grass Mountain. This era shows a community rooted in its geographic constraints, where the Vermont railroad and local roads follow the narrow passage carved by the water.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Fisher Sch and Mt Pleasant Sch, alongside multiple Cem locations. The map identifies specific infrastructure like the Covered Bridge and Gaging Sta, while the southeastern corner reaches into the Green Mountain National Forest near Lake Shaftsbury. Small hamlets like Chiselville and Kansas appear as distinct clusters, providing a clear view of Vermont's traditional village settlement patterns before modern expansion.
