1972 Map of Chester

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Chester and North Springfield serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this early 1970s survey of southern Windsor County. The Black River corridor defines the eastern landscape, where the North Springfield Reservoir has altered the valley floor near Kendricks Corner. Industrial and transport infrastructure is concentrated along the riverbanks, including the Springfield State Airport (Hartness) and various gravel operations. To the west, the Green Mountain Railroad follows the path of the Williams River through narrow passages like Duttonsville Gulf. Rural life remains etched into the uplands, where family-named features like Baileys Mills and Spoonerville sit amongst the hills. The map captures a moment when traditional Vermont valley towns were integrated with mid-century aviation and flood control projects, while maintaining the namesake high-school and community centers at Chester Depot and North Chester.
