1954 Map of Bennington

About this map

Bennington serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, shown alongside its historic core at Old Bennington and the prominent Battle Monument. The town's industrial and academic character is evident in the proximity of Paper Mill Village and Bennington College, while the Rutland Railroad tracks provide a vital link through the valley. The landscape transitions sharply from the developed corridor along the Walloomsac River to the high, forested peaks of the Green Mountain National Forest. High-altitude features like Glastenbury Mtn and the Long Trail underscore the region's wilderness character just miles from the settlement centers. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including many family-named schools like Niles Sch and Barber Sch, and cemeteries such as Hinsdillville Cem and Townsley Cem.
