About this map

Otter Creek meanders through the central valley of this Vermont landscape, serving as a geographic anchor between the agricultural flats to the west and the rising Green Mountains to the east. The transportation network of the early twentieth century is clearly defined by the Rutland R. R. and its Addison Branch, which intersect at Leicester Junction. This junction, along with Salisbury Sta., highlights the importance of rail access for local trade and travel during this period. To the east, the terrain shifts dramatically toward the peaks of Mt. Moosalamoo and Hogback Mt.. The area around Lake Dunmore shows early signs of recreational development, including the Falls of Lana and the nearby Hyde Manor in Sudbury, illustrating the region's long-standing appeal for seasonal visitors and health-seekers. Small industrial and farming hamlets like Forestdale and Farmingdale dot the landscape, connected by a web of local roads that follow the contours of the Neshobe River and other smaller tributaries.
