1943 Map of Fitchville

About this map

Gardner Lake and its surrounding hill country dominate this 1940s landscape, where several distinct townships converge. The area is defined by the Yantic River corridor, which supported small industrial hubs like Fitchville and Gilman. The Central Vermont railroad winds through the eastern portion of the map, serving Franklin Sta. This era shows a community structured around rural intersections and topographic landmarks, such as Bourn Hill and Wawecus Hill. Evidence of local heritage is found in the numerous family and church burial grounds, including the Scott Hill Cem and Plains Cem. Numerous summer camps, such as Camp Mooween and Camp Wetona, suggest the region's transition into a seasonal recreation destination during the mid-twentieth century, even as traditional crossroads like Bozrah Street and Avery Corner remained centers of local life.
