1948 Map of Colchester

About this map

Fort Ethan Allen Military Reservation anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, reflecting the military presence in Chittenden County during the post-war era. To the north, the Lamoille River winds through agricultural lands toward the Sand Bar National Waterfowl Management Area at the edge of Lake Champlain. The map captures a transition from traditional rural patterns, evidenced by the Town Farm and various numbered schoolhouses like School No 3 and School No 4, to mid-century modernizations including a Drive-in Theater and the early alignment of Interchange 17. The rail-focused economy is marked by the Central Vermont line, while the coastline of Malletts Bay shows established summer institutions such as Camp Kiniya and Braeloch Camp, alongside productive lands like the Winnisquam Orchard.
