1944 Map of Burlington

About this map

Burlington serves as the bustling anchor of this mid-century Vermont landscape, with the sprawling campus of the University of Vermont and the Burlington Airport signaling its growth as a regional hub. Along the waterfront of Lake Champlain, the Shipyard and Redrocks Park define the city's edge, while the industrial heritage of the area is visible at the Limekiln works near Winooski. A network of rail lines, including the Central Vermont and Rutland railroads, connects the lakefront to inland settlements like Essex Junction and Richmond. Moving south, the terrain becomes more varied with clusters of homes at Shelburne Falls and small crossroads like Rhode Island Corners. The map provides a detailed view of these rural communities and the family-named landmarks like Mt Philo and Brownell Mt that have long defined the Chittenden County countryside.
