About this map

The Connecticut River forms a shifting eastern boundary in this 1935 survey, where the state line is noted as indefinite along the water's edge. This area of Windham County is defined by the steep rises of Black Mountain and Governors Mountain, which channel local development into the river valleys. The Boston and Maine Railroad follows the main river corridor, while the Brattleboro and Whitehall Railroad snakes northwest along the Rock River, connecting clusters of settlement like Williamsville Station and South Newfane.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the rural districts surrounding Brattleboro, from the Monument Sch and The Plains Sch to the Childs Monument and Oak Grove Ch. The landscape reveals a mix of early industry and agriculture, including a Quarry on the slopes of Black Mountain and numerous small communities like Hinesburg and Green River that relied on these upland stream networks.
