1981 Map of Randolph

About this map

Randolph serves as the commercial and social heart of this Orange County landscape, situated where the Third Branch White River meets Ayers Brook. The village is tightly clustered around the Central Vermont railroad tracks, featuring local infrastructure like the Hospital and Union High Sch. Outside the village center, the terrain is defined by steep ridges like Braintree Hill and Hebard Hill, where small settlements and crossroads such as Peth and East Braintree remain connected by winding valley roads. A strong sense of local heritage is evident in the numerous burial grounds, including Pleasant View Cem and Spear Cem, and the presence of the General Thomas Monument in the southern hills. The map captures the agricultural and industrial character of the early 1980s, documenting several active Gravel Pits and the Sewage Disposal works that support the growing population.
