1897 Map of Castleton

About this map

Bomoseen Lake dominates the western landscape of this late nineteenth-century Vermont survey, surrounded by a dense network of hamlets and industrial corridors. The village of Castleton sits at a vital crossroads, where the Delaware and Hudson R.R. and Rutland and Washington R.R. navigate the valley of the Castleton River. This region represents a complex blend of agricultural settlements and early manufacturing centers, with the marble-rich area of Proctor and the slate-producing regions near Hydeville and Blissville clearly established.
