1920 Map of Brandon

USGS Topo · Published 1920

About this map

Otter Creek meanders through the central valley of this 1920 military update, defining the agricultural and industrial character of the Vermont landscape between Middlebury and Brandon. The rail network of the era is prominently displayed, showing the Rutland R. R. corridor and the Addison Branch diverging at Leicester Junction. This survey captures a moment when local industry and hospitality were deeply intertwined with the geography; a Lime Kiln sits near the tracks, while Hyde Manor serves as a landmark of the region's resort history near the Sudbury line. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Green Mountain foothills, where Lake Dunmore and Silver Lake are tucked beneath the heights of Mt. Moosalamoo. Small settlements like Forestdale and Farmingdale dot the drainage of the Neshobe River and Middlebury River, illustrating the distribution of early 20th-century mountain valley communities.
