1968 Map of Montpelier

About this map

The North Branch of the Winooski River carves a central valley through this late 1960s terrain, dominated by the capital city and its surrounding hill towns. In Montpelier, the street grid is clearly defined, featuring the State Capitol, Montpelier Vermont College, and the sprawling grounds of Green Mount Cemetery. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the Central Vermont railroad lines and the presence of the Wrightsville Dam, which regulates the river just north of the city center. Outlying hamlets like Adamant and Putnamville reflect the rural character of Washington County, while several family-named cemeteries and The Old Meetinghouse Ch in East Montpelier Center offer significant points of interest for local historians and genealogists. The map also captures the varied landscape from Robinson Hill to several named ponds, including Horn of the Moon Pond.
