1988 Map of Montpelier

About this map

The Winooski River and the Central Vermont railroad define the industrial and transit corridor of this mid-century Vermont landscape, anchoring the state capital and its surrounding villages. The map reveals a dense network of district schools, such as Pucker Street Sch and Loomis Hill Sch, which reflect the distributed rural population of the era. Settlement patterns follow the river valleys and mountain gaps, with Middlesex Notch and Waterbury Center serving as key nodes between the high peaks of the Worcester Mountains.
