1953 Map of Plainfield

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Winooski River and Kingsbury Br carve through these Vermont hills, anchoring a mid-century landscape of small villages and hard-won industry. Settlement patterns are defined by clusters like Marshfield, Cabot, and Plainfield, the latter serving as the home for Goddard College. The map documents a rural economy transitioning from early extractive work to modern residence; while Granite Quarries and various gravel pits like Sodom Pit dot the terrain, the prominence of institutions like the Old West Ch and numerous district schools, including the Pekin Sch and King Sch, point to long-standing community foundations. Transportation is well-established by this era, with Walden Sta and Marshfield Sta marking the path of rail travel through the valleys. Water remains a central feature of the topography, from the expansive Mollys Falls Reservoir and Peacham Pond to the smaller, family-named waters like Walton Pd and Curtis Pond.
