1954 Map of Bennington

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Battle Monument stands as a focal point in this mid-century portrait of southern Vermont, marking the historic core of Old Bennington near the State Soldiers Home. The landscape is defined by the steep rise of the Green Mountain National Forest to the east, while the valley floor is shaped by the Walloomsac River and the Roaring Branch. This era shows a thriving educational and industrial corridor, featuring the grounds of Bennington College and the established routes of the Rutland Railway and the Ethan Allen Highway. Small rural nodes like Shaftsbury Center and Woodford Hollow remain distinct, populated by numerous local landmarks including the Cobblestone Sch, White Chapel, and the Hinsdellville Cem. The map effectively captures the intersection of early post-war development and the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the Green Mountains.
