1897 Map of Castleton

USGS Topo · Published 1934

About this map

The industrial and agricultural heart of Rutland County is clearly visible in this late nineteenth-century survey, which documents the region's complex rail network and marble-quarrying landscape. The Delaware and Hudson RR and the Clarendon and Pittsford RR weave through the valleys, connecting settlements like Proctor, Castleton, and Poultney. The prominence of Bomoseen Lake and its surrounding features, such as Neshobee Id. and Rabbit Id., highlights the area's natural geography alongside its industrial growth. West of the Castleton River, the terrain rises toward Bird Mountain and Herrick Mountain, framing the narrow valleys where communities like Ira and Clarendon Springs are established. This topography influenced the placement of early settlements and roads, many of which follow the natural breaks provided by Whipple Hollow and Hampshire Hollow.
