About this map

Groton State Forest and the upper Winooski River basin define this landscape just before the 1940s, where three distinct rail lines once served the upland granite and timber economies. The Hardwick & Woodbury RR winds through the northern highlands, while the Montpelier & Wells River RR connects the riverside settlements of Marshfield Sta and Lanesboro. This survey, produced by Elbridge C. Jacobs and the USGS, documents a dense network of local landmarks, from the Old West Ch near Kent Corners to more than a dozen remote schoolhouses like Hollister Hill Sch and Hardwood Flats Sch. High-altitude ponds including Peacham Pond and Nichols Pond punctuate the ridges, illustrating the relationship between the area's water resources and the industrial power house sites found along the river downstream from Cabot.
