About this map

Lake Bomoseen anchors the northern landscape of this Vermont-New York borderlands region, where the Castleton River and Poultney River cut through the slate-rich terrain. The map reveals a mid-century academic and industrial corridor, featuring both Castleton State College and Green Mtn College. Transport patterns are defined by the Delaware and Hudson RR, which skirts the settlements of Hydeville and Castleton.

Extensive quarrying activity is evident along the western ridges near Blissville, where numerous Quarries are marked, indicating the importance of the local stone industry. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several family and parish burial grounds, including Culver Cem, Gates Cem, and St Raphael Cem. Small hamlets like Gorhamtown and the lakeside community at Point of Pines show the distribution of population across the Rutland Co countryside during the early 1960s.
