1959 Map of Hartland

About this map

The Connecticut River and Ottauquechee River define this mid-century landscape of eastern Vermont, where the North Hartland Reservoir represents a significant modification of the natural watercourse. The map reveals a high density of ancestral landmarks, particularly cemeteries such as Quaker Village Cem and Aldrich Cem, which point to long-established family homesteads across the rolling terrain. Settlements like Hartland Four Corners, Fieldsville, and Jenneville serve as local hubs, while smaller details like the Grout Sch and a Covered Bridge near the river bank provide a look at the community infrastructure of the era. The southern portion is notable for the State Prison Farm, illustrating the diverse land use in Windsor County during the late 1950s. Numerous brooks, including Lulls Brook and Babcock Brook, intersect the numerous hills that characterize this New England topography.
