1981 Map of Barre East

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Barre Granite Quarries dominate the central landscape of this Washington County survey, reflecting the deep-rooted industrial heritage of the world's premier granite-producing region. The heavy concentration of extraction sites around Websterville, Graniteville, and Upper Graniteville underscores the area's economic focus during the late 20th century. Logistics for this industry are visible via the Barre and Chelsea rail lines that thread between the hills and pits. Beyond the quarries, the landscape transitions into the residential and civic heart of Barre, where local institutions like Spaulding High Sch and St Sylvester church are noted. The eastern half of the map reveals a more rural character, defined by the Jail Branch waterway, the L R Jones State Forest, and the Thurman W Dix Reservoir, which together illustrate the balance between intensive natural resource extraction and protected woodland environments.
