About this map

Otter Creek meanders through the heart of this Addison County landscape, defining the industrial and agricultural character of Middlebury and its surrounding townships in the early 1960s. The waterway serves as a focal point for local industry, evidenced by the Powerplant at Beldens and the Huntington Falls Dam further downstream. The presence of the Vermont railroad line connecting New Haven Junction to the village center highlights the historical transportation corridor that supported the region's development.

Rural life is anchored by established landmarks such as the Univ of Vermont Morgan Horse Farm and the Spring Grove Campgrounds. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented, ranging from St Marys Cem and West Cem to the Evergreen Cem Abandoned near the northern border. From the heights of Chipman Hill to the banks of the Lemon Fair River, the map captures a transition between the settled valley floor and the rising slopes of Buck Mountain.
