About this map

Bethel Granite Quarry stands as a significant industrial landmark in this mid-1920s survey of the central Vermont highlands. The landscape is defined by the three branches of the White River, which carved deep valleys that dictate the placement of towns and transit. Along the Third Branch, the Central Vermont RR connects settlements like Randolph and Bethel, while the smaller mountain drainages are dotted with dozens of numbered and named schoolhouses, including the Old Stone School and the remote Lost Nation School.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense network of family-named terrain and small hamlets like Randolph Center and East Braintree. The presence of the General Thomas Monument and the Old Church near Bethel Gilead highlights the early civic and spiritual centers of these upland communities. From the heights of Blueberry Mtn to the riverside flats of South Royalton, the map provides an exacting record of a region balanced between upland farming and river-valley industry.
