1948 Map of Richmond

About this map

The Winooski River carves a deep valley through the Green Mountains, anchoring the transportation corridor for the Central Vermont railroad. In the mid-20th century, the landscape is defined by clustered settlements like Richmond, where the landmark Old Round Church stands near the riverbanks, and the smaller hamlets of Jonesville and Nashville. The northern reaches of the map are dominated by the Fort Ethan Allen Military Reservation, which includes an Artillery Target Range set against the backdrop of Lee River.
