1897 Map of Castleton

USGS Topo · Published 1920

About this map

Lake Bomoseen dominates the western landscape of this late nineteenth-century Vermont survey, surrounded by established settlements like Hydeville and West Castleton. The topography is defined by the sharp contrasts between the Castleton River valley and the high peaks of Herrick Mountain and Bird Mountain. The industrial and transportation network of the era is evident in the dense rail infrastructure, including the Delaware and Hudson R.R. and the Clarendon and Pittsford R.R., which served the marble and slate regions. Villages such as Poultney and Castleton appear as well-defined hubs of commerce, while smaller hamlets like Chippenhook and Florence dot the outlying agricultural and mining lands. The map also captures the border with New York at Hampton, showing the early connectivity between Washington Co. and Rutland Co. through established river and rail corridors.
