About this map

Bethel Granite Quarry and the Central Vermont Ry corridor define the industrial and transit landscape of this central Vermont region during the mid-1920s. The village of Bethel serves as a central hub where the Third Branch White River meets the main stem, supporting a network of small agricultural and quarrying communities. The map reveals a dense distribution of rural education sites, from the uniquely named Lost Nation School to the Old Stone School near Randolph Center.

Genealogists will find interest in the numerous named hills and family-linked landmarks, such as Fish Hill and Hebard Hill, which reflect the long-standing land ownership of the era. The terrain transitions from the river valleys to high points like Blueberry Mtn and Delectable Mtn, while the General Thomas Monument stands as a notable historical marker near Bethel Gilead. This survey provides a clear view of the settlement patterns before modern highway expansion altered these classic mountain towns.
