1944 Map of Montpelier

About this map

The Winooski River and its winding course define the southern corridor of this mid-century survey, flanked by the Roosevelt Highway and the M and W R line. The landscape is dominated by the ridges of the Worcester Range, featuring prominent peaks like Mount Hunger and Mount Worcester. This era shows a dense network of rural infrastructure, particularly the many district schools such as Pucker Street Sch, Hampshire Hill Sch, and Loomis Hill Sch, which served the scattered farming communities of Middlesex and Worcester.
