About this map

Bennington Battlefield Park occupies a significant bend in the Walloomsac River, marking the terrain where history and geography intersect on the New York and Vermont border. The industrial and residential center of Hoosick Falls dominates the southern portion of the sheet, where the Hoosic River winds past the Hoosick Falls Country Club and the Maple Grove Cem. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Boston and Maine Railroad, which links together smaller settlements and junctions including Hoosick Junction and White Creek Sta.

Tracing the rural reaches reveals a network of localized centers like Center White Creek and Post Corners, alongside numerous numbered schoolhouses such as School No 5 and School No 2. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, from the St Marys Cem in town to the remote Quaker Cem and Kingsley Cem. The map captures a moment when the transition from traditional rail commerce to newer infrastructure is visible, including the Bennington State Airport and a Drive-in Theater.
