About this map

The State Capitol and the campus of Vermont College anchor the capital city of Montpelier in this late-century survey. The landscape is defined by the confluence of the Winooski River, Dog River, and the North Branch, the latter of which is controlled by the Wrightsville Dam. This engineering feature created the Wrightsville Dam State Recreation Area, a major public space north of the city center.

Beyond the urban core, the map reveals the rural character of surrounding townships like Middlesex and East Montpelier. Genealogists will find numerous small burial grounds and religious sites, such as the North Branch Cem, Bennett Cem, and The Old Meetinghouse Ch. Educational history is preserved through markers for the St Michaels Sch and Middlesex Rumney Sch, illustrating the distribution of community centers across the hills of Washington County.
