1940 Map of Plainfield

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Woodbury Mountain and the high ridges of the Woodbury range dominate this 1940s landscape, where a dense network of hill-country schools and cemeteries reflects a settled agricultural era. The village of Plainfield sits along the Winooski River, while the St Johnsbury and Lake Champlain RR cuts across the northern reaches near Walden Heights Walden Sta. This period finds the region transitioning its water resources, evidenced by the presence of the Mollys Falls Reservoir and the Power House near Marshfield. Local centers like Maple Cors Calais PO and South Woodbury are captured before modern infrastructure altered the rural character of these crossroads. Numerous small water bodies such as Shadow Lake and Nichols Pond are interspersed between family-named landmarks like Hollister Hill and Burbank Hill, providing a detailed look at land ownership and community structure prior to mid-century shifts.
