1951 Map of Hardwick

About this map

Hardwick and the surrounding villages of the Northeast Kingdom are captured here in a period of established upland farming and early recreation. The landscape is defined by the Lamoille River and a series of glacial ponds, most notably Caspian Lake, which serves as a centerpiece for the town of Greensboro. A significant historical corridor is visible in the Bayley-Hazen Military Road, a Revolutionary War-era route that helped open this region to settlement. The map reveals a dense network of hill-country communities, from the academic setting of Craftsbury Common to the rail-dependent Greensboro Bend. This survey, based on work from the late 1920s and 1930s, documents the rural infrastructure of the mid-20th century, including numerous local landmarks like the Hazen Road Sch and Hardwick Street, a historic district known for its well-preserved architecture and agricultural legacy.
