1948 Map of Milton

About this map

The Lamoille River defines the mid-century landscape of this northern Vermont region, cutting between the slopes of Georgia Mountain and Prospect Hill. As the post-war era brought modernization, the expansion of Interchange 18 and road revisions reflect the shift toward regional connectivity, though the traditional backbone of the Central Vermont railroad remains prominent. The map details the transition from rural school districts to larger institutions, noting both School No 14 and the Bellows Free Academy in Fairfax. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of small burial grounds like Hope Cem and Beaver Cem, alongside longstanding settlements such as Georgia Center and East Georgia. The topography is marked by significant water features, from the broad Arrowhead Mountain Lake to the secluded Milton Pond and Silver Lake, illustrating the varied terrain that shaped the development of Milton and its surrounding townships.
