1957 Map of Barre

About this map

The central Vermont highlands are documented here during the late 1950s, a period when the mountainous landscape of Washington and Orange counties maintained a balance between its industrial valleys and rural hills. Norwich University sits at the heart of Northfield, while the Central Vermont railroad follows the course of the Dog River through the narrow valley. The map reveals the intricate network of the area's secondary education and recreation, from one-room schoolhouses like No 12 Sch and the Baptist Street Sch to the established Teela-Wooket Camp.
