1944 Map of Bomoseen

About this map

Lake Bomoseen dominates this 1944 topographic survey of Vermont, showing a landscape defined by seasonal lakefront life and deep-rooted agricultural townships. The water-rich area includes several distinct settlements such as Hortonville, West Castleton, and the village of Hubbardton. The shoreline of the lake itself is dotted with recreational landmarks like Crystal Beach, Avalon Beach, and Neshope Beach, while further north, several camps like Camp Awanee and Eagle Rock Camp suggest the area's mid-century role as a summer destination. Beyond the lakeshore, the map preserves the locations of local educational and religious hubs that served the rural population, including the Turnpike Sch, North Brittain Sch, and St Matthews Ch. Prominent ridges like Wallace Ledge and Sargent Hill overlook a network of roads like Monument Road, marking the transition from the valley floor to the upland terrain of Rutland County.
