1943 Map of Cornwall

About this map

Otter Creek meanders through the heart of this landscape, flanked by the expansive Cedar Swamp and Whiting Swamp. The terrain is defined by dramatic rises such as The Ledges and Scove Hill, which stand above the marshy lowlands. Settlement patterns in the 1940s reveal a network of numbered schoolhouses and small rural hubs like West Cornwall and West Salisbury. The presence of the Rutland railroad line running parallel to the creek underscores the importance of rail transport to these agricultural communities, connecting points like Salisbury Sta to larger markets. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the detailed locations of family-named landmarks like Wainwright Hill and several burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem and Pleasant View Cem. The northern portion of the map includes local institutions such as the Middlebury Country Club and Porter Hospital, reflecting the development of the area near the township borders.
