1899 Map of Londonderry

About this map

Central Vermont R. R. follows the winding path of the West River through this late nineteenth-century Vermont landscape, connecting mountain valley settlements during the height of the local rail-and-river economy. The topography is defined by the high peaks of the Green Mountains, including Bromley Mountain and the massive profile of Stratton Mountain. Dozens of small villages and hamlets, such as South Londonderry, Jamaica, and Bondville, are shown at a time when the region's industry relied on water power from features like Mill Brook and the Winhall River.
