About this map

The Castleton River valley serves as a primary corridor for the Hudson and Delaware rail line, connecting the historic educational hubs of Castleton State College and Green Mtn College. This 1960s landscape, later updated in the early 1970s, reveals a region defined by its industrial resources and academic institutions. Numerous quarries and gravel pits are concentrated near Blissville and Hydeville, indicating the local importance of the slate and stone industries during this era.

Along the shores of Lake Bomoseen at Point of Pines, the settlement pattern shifts toward recreation, while the interior hills are marked by family-named landmarks like Spaulding Hill and Parker Hill. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Hillside Cem, Gates Cem, and St Raphael Cem, which anchor the various small hamlets and villages scattered between East Poultney and Castleton.
