1980 Map of Bethel

About this map

Gaysville and Riverside sit along the winding course of the White River, serving as focal points for this 1980s-era map of Windsor County. The landscape is defined by the confluence of numerous waterways, including Locust Creek, Stony Brook, and the Third Branch White River, which carve through the high terrain of Vulture Mtn and Delectable Mtn. Local infrastructure and community life are well-documented through labels for the White River National Fish Hatchery, the Drive-in Theater near the northern boundary, and educational facilities like Whitcomb High Sch. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of several cemeteries, including the Sylvester Plot Cem and Abbot Cem. The map captures a moment when traditional valley settlements like Lilliesville and Lympus remained anchored by the geography of gaps and hills.
