1970 Map of Hancock

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The White River carves a narrow valley through the heart of the Green Mountain National Forest on this 1970s record of central Vermont. Settlement follows the river corridor, where the hamlets of Granville, Lower Granville, Hancock, and Rochester serve as anchors in a landscape defined by the steep rises of Braintree Mountain and the Northfield Mountains. The map reveals a transition in land use, showing traditional infrastructure like the Hancock Tunnel and family-named cemeteries alongside newer recreational markers like Camp Killooleet and Mountain Dairy Campground. Higher elevations remain largely wild, marked by geographical landmarks such as Old Sixty Hill, Thunder Head, and the Lookout Tower near Mt Cushman. Tributaries like Thatcher Brook and Tucker Brook drain the high gaps, illustrating the classic drainage patterns that historically dictated the placement of mountain roads and small-scale Vermont agriculture.
