1893 Map of Rutland

About this map

Rutland serves as the central hub of this late 19th-century Vermont landscape, where the Central Vermont Railroad and the D. & H. R. R. converge along the banks of Otter Creek. The survey highlights a sharp contrast between the industrializing valley floor and the massive heights of the Green Mountains to the east. High elevation features like Killington Peak, Pico Peak, and Mendon Peak dominate the eastern half of the map, illustrating the steep topography that constrained early settlement to the narrow river corridors.
