About this map

The Hoosic River and Walloomsac River valley serve as the primary corridors for settlement and transportation in this 1943 survey of the New York and Vermont borderlands. The industrial center of Hoosick Falls dominates the southern landscape, while smaller rural hamlets like North Hoosick, Center White Creek, and Post Corners are scattered along the creek valleys to the north. A dense network of schools, including School No 16 and School No 2, points to a well-established rural community structure during the mid-1940s.

Railroad connectivity is a defining feature of the era, with the Boston and Maine, New York Central, and Rutland lines converging at Hoosick Junction. Cultural and commemorative sites are prominent, from the Bennington Battlefield Park near Sedom to numerous local burial grounds such as Quaker Cem and Maple Grove Cem. The map also captures the early aviation presence at Bennington Airport and recreational spaces like the Hoosick Falls Country Club.
