About this map

Lake Champlain forms the western boundary of this Vermont landscape, where the Lamoille River and Winooski River cut through the undulating hills of Chittenden and Franklin counties. The Central Vermont railroad dictates the corridor of growth, connecting established hubs like Milton and East Georgia. Smaller, scattered settlements such as Checkerberry Village and Georgia Center are defined by a network of one-room schoolhouses, including School No 10 and King School, serving a rural agricultural population.

Strategic locations are well-documented, from the military presence at Fort Ethan Allen to the essential transit point of the Sand Bar Bridge. The map details the complex shoreline of Malletts Bay, noting landmarks like Malletts Head and Coates I. For those tracing local lineage or early 20th-century land use, the placement of names like Munson Flat and Pages Corners offers a precise look at the geography of this era before modern infrastructure reshaped the valley.
