1981 Map of Chelsea

About this map

The First Branch White River winds through the heart of this Orange County landscape, anchoring the valley settlements of Chelsea, North Tunbridge, and Tunbridge. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Holt Hill, Brocklebank Hill, and Whitney Hill, which hem in the narrow river corridors. This early 1980s data reflects a rural Vermont infrastructure where several historic timber spans, such as the Larkin Covered Bridge and Mill Covered Bridge, remained vital parts of the local transit network alongside unpaved routes like Dickerman Road.
