About this map

Burlington dominates the waterfront of Lake Champlain in this early twentieth-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial growth and academic establishment. The University of Vermont is clearly delineated on the hill, while the city's cemeteries, Lakeview Cemetery and Greenmount Cemetery, sit on the periphery of the urban grid. To the north, a Limekiln along the Winooski River points to the area's local extraction economy near the falls at Winooski.

Transportation networks radiate from the hub, including the Williston Turnpike and a dense web of rail lines like the Central Vermont and Rutland RR. Beyond the city, smaller nineteenth-century settlements such as Shelburne Falls, Mechanicsville, and Prindle Corners anchor the rural terrain. The mapping captures the diverse topography of the region, from the lakeside Redrocks Park to the elevated heights of Mt Philo and the Hogback Mts to the southeast.
