1897 Map of Castleton

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

Lake Bomoseen dominates this late nineteenth-century landscape, surrounded by a network of marble-quarrying and agricultural towns. The map captures the industrial character of the era, particularly along the Castleton River and Otter Creek, where the Central Vermont R.R. and Delaware and Hudson R.R. facilitated the transport of resources. Notable settlements such as Poultney and Proctor are shown in detail, alongside smaller vanished or evolved localities like Ransomvale and Blissville. The topography of the Taconic Mountains is clearly defined, with landmarks like Bird Mountain and Herrick Mountain rising between the valleys of the Clarendon River and the lake. Genealogists will find value in the specific placement of outlying hamlets such as East Hubbardton and Chippenhook, providing a geographic context for Vermont families just before the automobile era.
