1943 Map of Hoosick Falls

About this map

Hoosick Falls serves as the industrial and social hub of this borderland region during the 1940s, situated where the Hoosic River meets Woods Brook. The landscape is defined by its strategic transportation corridors, including the Boston and Maine and Rutland railroads, which intersect at Hoosick Junction. In the northern portion of the map, the agrarian character of White Creek is punctuated by numerous rural schoolhouses and small family settlements like Center White Creek and Post Corners. A significant portion of the eastern terrain reflects Revolutionary War heritage at Bennington Battlefield Park, located along the Walloomsac River near the tiny hamlet of Sodom. Genealogists will find several burial grounds, such as Quaker Cem and St Marys Cem, alongside landmarks of mid-century life like the Hoosick Falls Country Club and Bennington Airport.
