1898 Map of Bennington

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Bennington stands as the central hub of this late 19th-century Vermont landscape, where the Rutland RR and an Electric RR converged to support a flourishing regional economy. The settlement pattern reflects a valley-driven industry, with Papermill Village and North Bennington established along the Walloomsae River and Paran Creek, utilizing the water power descending from the high ridges of the Green Mountains. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Glastenbury Mt, where the wilder reaches of Woodford and Glastenbury are marked by remote features like Camp Comfort and Beaver Meadows. This survey reveals the transition between the industrial village cores and the high upland meadows and timberlands, capturing the precise footprint of the Bennington Branch rail line and the scattered rural hamlets of South Shaftsbury and Pownal Center before modern highway development.
