About this map

Burlington anchors this 1904 survey, showing the city's concentrated grid situated between Lake Champlain and the University of Vermont. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Central Vermont RR and the Rutland RR, which connected the lakefront industrial areas and the shipyard to the wider region. Beyond the city, the Winooski River meanders through a valley marked by early industrial sites like the limekiln and the Williston Turnpike.

The surrounding countryside is dotted with small rural crossroads and specialized settlements such as Queen City Park and Shelburne Falls. Topographic details reveal the varied terrain from the shoreline at Lone Rock Point to prominent elevations like Mt Philo and Brownell Mtn. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for Lakeview Cemetery and numerous named corners including Prindle Corners and Fays Corners.
