1961 Map of Rutland

About this map

Rutland serves as the busy urban center of this 1961 Vermont survey, where a dense network of neighborhood schools like Lincoln Sch and Williams Longfellow Sch sit alongside civic landmarks including the Courthouse, Armory, and Riverside Reformatory. The landscape transitions abruptly from the city's red-tinted street grid into the steep, forested elevations of East Mountain and the Aitken State Forest. This contrast highlights the region's mid-century development patterns, where the industrial and residential core is hemmed in by the Green Mountains to the east and the winding course of Otter Creek to the west.
