About this map

The Central Vermont railway corridor serves as the industrial spine of this mid-1920s landscape, connecting the valley settlements of Bethel, Royalton, and Randolph. The topography is defined by the three branches of the White River, with the Third Branch carving a deep path through the Braintree and Bethel hills. High above the river valleys, the Bethel Granite Quarry on Quarry Hill suggests the importance of stone extraction to the local economy during this era.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the density of rural education sites, including the Old Stone School, Lost Nation School, and Burridge School. Notable landmarks like the General Thomas Monument and the Old Church south of Fish Hill provide specific points of interest for researchers. The map captures an era of dispersed upland farming and concentrated valley commerce just before modern highway development altered the character of these Vermont townships.
