About this map

Brandon serves as the central hub of this 1946 landscape, where the Neshobe River winds through the valley floor before meeting Otter Creek. The map documents a well-established rural infrastructure, featuring multiple educational sites like School No 1, School No 2, and the Brandon State Sch. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Green Mountain National Forest, where the settlement of Goshen sits high above the valley.

Tracing the northern edge reveals the transition between Addison and Rutland Counties near Leicester Corners. The industrial and natural history of the region is evident in landmarks like Lead Mine Mtn and the numerous small ponds such as Fern Lake and Burnell Pond. This survey preserves the mid-century road network, including the Arnold Trail and several bridges such as Sanderson Bridge and Dean Bridge that cross the wetlands of the western meadows.
