1981 Map of Randolph Center

About this map

Vermont Technical College serves as a central landmark for this upland Vermont landscape, situated on the high plateau of Randolph Center. The terrain is defined by the deep incisions of the Second Branch White River and the First Branch White River, which carve north-south valleys through the Green Mountains foothills. Along these watercourses, a string of river settlements—North Randolph, East Randolph, and South Randolph—illustrate the historical reliance on valley floors for transport and agriculture. The map details several historic burying grounds, including East Randolph Cem and the remote Kelsey Mtn Cem on the slopes of Kelsey Mountain. From the heights of Randolph Hill to the eastern ridges of Tunbridge Hill, the cartography preserves a network of rural roads and numerous named brooks such as Penny Brook and Blaisdell Brook that feed the White River system.
