1935 Map of Brattleboro

About this map

Brattleboro serves as the focal point of this 1935 survey, situated at the confluence of Whetstone Brook and the Connecticut River. The landscape is defined by its deep river valleys and prominent peaks like Black Mountain and Governors Mountain. The region's industrial and transportation infrastructure is well-established, featuring the Boston and Maine Railroad and the Maine Central Railroad tracing the riverbanks. Local genealogy and history are preserved through numerous small settlements such as Williamsville, Hinesburg, and Guilford. Distinctive landmarks like Childs Monument near Mine Ledge and rural education centers including Plains Sch and Monument Sch provide a detailed look at Vermont's social fabric before the mid-century. The map also captures the transition between Vermont and New Hampshire, marking the state boundary along the river's edge.
