1986 Map of Fairfield

About this map

Fairfield serves as the central hub of this Vermont landscape in the mid-1980s, where the winding course of Black Creek and Dead Creek define the lowlands. The terrain is a mix of agricultural valleys and wooded rises like Fox Hill and Sheldon Hill, reflecting a traditional New England land-use pattern of dairy farming and forestry. Large conservation blocks are prominent, specifically the Fairfield Swamp State Wildlife Management Area and the Elm Brook State Wildlife Management Area, which preserve significant wetland habitats across the township boundaries.
