About this map

The Central Vermont railroad corridor serves as the industrial and transit spine of this landscape, connecting the clustered settlements of Randolph, Bethel, and South Royalton along the river valleys. This mid-century survey reveals a well-established educational and agricultural infrastructure, notably the State School of Agriculture near Randolph Center and numerous rural institutions like the Whitcomb High Sch and Union High Sch.

Relief is defined by the sharp convergence of the Third Branch White River and Second Branch White River into the main White River channel. Notable landmarks beyond the village centers include the Gen Thomas Monument and the Drive-in Theater south of Randolph, reflecting the transition from early commemorative sites to modern mid-century leisure. Local industry and recreation are represented by a Quarry near Fish Hill and the early boundaries of Rood State Park, while family history is preserved in sites like Cherry Hill Cem and the Old Church.
