About this map

The White River and its multiple branches dictate the settlement patterns of this central Vermont landscape, where the Central Vermont railroad follows the valley through Randolph and South Royalton. The map reveals a robust educational infrastructure at mid-century, anchored by the State Sch of Agriculture in Randolph Center and several regional institutions like Whitcomb High Sch and the Union High Sch.

Upland areas are marked by a network of family-named peaks and hills, including Old Hurricane Hill and Alexander Hill, interspersed with small rural hamlets like East Braintree, Peth, and Dowdey Corner. Cultural and recreational landmarks are evident, from the Ben Thomas Monument and Cawdrey Outlook to the Drive-in Theater near Bethel. The presence of Rood State Park and various hillside cemeteries, such as Fairview Cem and Cherry Hill Cem, provides a detailed view of the community's civic and memorial geography.
