About this map

Brattleboro serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century survey, situated at the confluence of the Connecticut River and Whetstone Brook. The landscape is defined by its industrial and transport connectivity, evidenced by the convergence of the Vermont Valley Railroad, the New London Northern Railroad, and the Brattleboro and Whitehall Railroad. These rail lines follow the river valleys, linking scattered settlements like Dummerston Station and Williamsville Station to the regional hubs.

Upland terrain is punctuated by prominent peaks such as Black Mountain, where a Quarry indicates the era's extractive industry. The map captures the settlement patterns of Windham County and across the state line into Cheshire County, New Hampshire, before modern development. Notable local landmarks include Governors Mountain and Pulpit Mountain, while smaller communities like Guilford Center and Green River remain connected by early valley roads.
