2024 Map of Bennington

About this map

Bennington and its surrounding villages serve as the anchor of this southwestern Vermont landscape, where the Walloomsac River and Paran Creek meet a backdrop of the Green Mountains. The map traces the transition from the concentrated historic districts of Old Bennington and North Bennington to the protected expansion of the Green Mountain National Forest and the Glastenbury Wilderness to the east. The industrial and educational character of the region is evident through the presence of Bennington College and the Vermont Railway corridor, which skirts the edge of South Shaftsbury. Local history is deeply embedded in the terrain, marked by numerous burial sites like the Rice A Winslow Farm Cem and the Bennington Village Cem. The layout of early settlements is further clarified by named roads like Potter Montgomery RD and Cedar Mill RD, illustrating the deep-rooted transit and agricultural patterns that have persisted for generations.
