1902 Map of Brandon

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Brandon serves as a principal hub in this 1902 survey, where the Rutland R. R. and the Addison Branch intersect near the Otter Creek valley. The map reveals a landscape defined by the sharp transition from the fertile lowlands of the Cedar Swamp to the rising elevations of the Green Mountains, featuring landmarks like Mt. Moosalamoo and Rattlesnake Point. Notable for genealogists and local historians, the sheet captures several distinct village centers, including Forestdale and Leicester Junction, alongside early resort life at Hyde Manor. The drainage of Lake Dunmore into the Leicester River illustrates the historical water power potential at the Falls of Lana. This survey documents a Vermont transition period, where agricultural communities and early tourism sites like Silver Lake were linked by an expanding rail network.
