About this map

Otter Creek meanders through the central valley of this mid-1940s landscape, flanked by the distinct peaks of Biddle Knob and Grandpa Knob to the west. The marble-producing town of Proctor serves as a primary hub of activity, where the Rutland railroad and the Clarendon and Rutland Pittsford lines meet. Further north, the settlement of Pittsford is marked by social and educational infrastructure including the Vermont Sanatorium and Furnace Sch.

The map reveals a landscape defined by water management and rural community life, from the industrial utility of Reynolds Reservoir to local landmarks like Olympus Pool and Gorham Bridge. Local history is preserved in the locations of Riverside Cem and scattered one-room schoolhouses such as Goodnough Sch and Whipple Hollow Sch. The terrain is characterized by a mix of swampy lowlands along the creek and significant elevations like Cox Mtn and Pine Hill.
