1948 Map of Richmond

About this map

The Winooski River and the Central Vermont railroad corridor define the southern boundary of this late 1940s survey, where the valley floor transitions into the rising slopes of the Green Mountains. The village of Richmond serves as a focal point, noted for the distinctive Old Round Church and the nearby River View Cem. To the north, the landscape is heavily influenced by the Fort Ethan Allen Military Reservation, which occupies a significant portion of the terrain between Jericho Center and West Bolton. This military presence sits in contrast to the rural character of settlements like Nashville and the remote peaks of Stimson Mountain and Mayers Dome. Hikers can trace the route of The Long Trail as it winds across the ridges, passing landmarks such as Bolton Notch and an Airway Beacon, while the Vermont Research Forest Agriculture Experiment Station indicates the area's ongoing engagement with its timber and agricultural resources.
