1922 Map of Barre

About this map

Norwich University stands at the heart of this survey of central Vermont, anchoring the town of Northfield during the early 1920s. The landscape is defined by the steep valleys of the Dog River and the Stevens Branch, where industry and institution overlap. To the east, the granite-rich hills of Websterville and Graniteville surround Millstone Hill, revealing the intensive quarrying operations that drove the local economy. The transportation network is dominated by the Central Vermont Ry, which follows the river corridors, connecting the industrial quarries and agricultural centers.
