About this map

Otter Creek meanders through the lowlands west of Brandon, defining a landscape where valley agriculture meets the rising slopes of the Green Mountains. This mid-century survey, updated with late-1980s data, illustrates the transition from the developed village center to the wooded expanse of the Green Mountain National Forest. Cultural and civic landmarks are prominent, including the Brandon State Sch and local cemeteries like Brookside Cem.

Industry and local movement are evidenced by the Lead Mine on Lead Mine Mtn and historical crossings such as Sanderson Bridge and Dean Bridge. The map preserves the locations of early rural education centers, including School No 1 and School No 2, alongside recreational sites like the Golf Course and Vermont Thorpe Camp. The varied terrain from Smalley Swamp to the high peaks of Chaffee Mtn highlights the region's topographical complexity.
