About this map

Bennington anchors this Southwestern Vermont landscape, characterized by the sharp transition from the valley floor to the high elevations of the Green Mountain National Forest. The map documents a cluster of distinct historic cores, including Old Bennington with its prominent Battle Monument and the industrial heritage of Paper Mill Village along the Walloomsac River. The influence of the Vermont Railway is evident as it winds through North Bennington, passing near Lake Paran and Bennington College.

Upland features like West Mountain and Trumbull Mtn hem in the developed corridor, where local schools like Brooklyn Sch and Harwood Hill Sch serve established neighborhoods. The convergence of Roaring Branch and the main river system highlights the importance of waterpower to the area's early growth. This 1997 revision provides a detailed view of the region's infrastructure, including the Bennington Airport and the sprawling grounds of the State Soldiers Home.
