1948 Map of Richmond

About this map

The Winooski River corridor serves as the primary artery for settlement and industry in this Chittenden County landscape. The village of Richmond is a central point of activity, situated along the Central Vermont railroad line and near the distinctive Old Round Church. To the north, the Fort Ethan Allen Military Reservation dominates the high ground, marking a significant military presence in the hills of Jericho. The terrain transitions from the river valley into the prominent Green Mountains, where landmarks like Birnies Nose and Mayers Dome tower over the Lee River and Mill Brook. The survey details a mix of rural life and natural resource extraction, evidenced by various cemeteries, the Vermont Research Forest Agriculture Experiment Station, and a local Quarry. Smaller hamlets like Jericho Center and Nashville remain connected by winding mountain roads that follow the contours of Huckleberry Hill and The Cobble.
