1948 Map of Colchester

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Malletts Bay dominates this mid-century survey, its coastline dotted with seasonal landmarks and established orchards. The landscape reflects a mix of traditional agriculture and emerging infrastructure, from the Winnisquam Orchard and Town Farm to the more modern presence of Ethan Allen Air Force Base near Winooski. Transportation and recreation are central to the area's layout, featuring a Drag Strip and a Drive-in Theater alongside older institutional markers like School No 3 and School No 4. The Central Vermont railroad cuts a north-south path through the hills, passing below Cobble Hill and connecting the rural outskirts of Colchester with the industrial fringes of Burlington. Several distinct summer camps, including Camp Kiniya and Camp Norfleet, line the shores of Lake Champlain, illustrating the region's long-standing appeal as a retreat.
