1984 Map of Brattleboro

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as a defining boundary between Windham Co and Cheshire Co, anchoring a landscape where industrial infrastructure and early New England history sit side-by-side. The presence of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Sta in the south near Vernon contrasts with the deep local history marked by The Old Muster Ground and several small rural hamlets like Whitneyville and Guilford Center. Along the riverbanks, the Central Vermont and Boston and Maine railroads reflect the region's transport legacy, while Brattleboro itself emerges as a primary hub of civic activity, housing the Brattleboro Retreat (Hospital) and the Brattleboro Country Club. The map's western reaches transition into the elevations of Governors Mountain and Jolly Mtn, where numerous cemeteries like King Cem and Mather Cem suggest the long-standing family settlements of these Vermont hillsides.
