1948 Map of Milton

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Fort Ethan Allen Military Res anchors the southern portion of this landscape, a significant post-war presence in the valley between the Winooski River and Malletts Bay. The terrain transitions from the low-lying shoreline of Lake Champlain, marked by numerous seasonal camps like Camp Rich and Camp Watson, to the rising elevations of Arrowhead Mountain and Georgia Mountain. The Central Vermont railroad line serves as a spine for the interior, connecting dairy-rich settlements like Milton and Georgia Center. Evidence of early community life is found in the scattered one-room schoolhouses, such as Silvertown Sch and Plain Sch, and the prominence of the Fairfax Bellows Academy. The presence of a Windmill near Town Corner Sch and several sawmills suggests a rural economy still tied to local resource processing and agriculture in the late 1940s.
