1961 Map of Rutland

About this map

Otter Creek meanders through the western valley while the city of Rutland serves as a dense industrial and institutional hub. The urban core is detailed with civic landmarks like the Courthouse, City Hall, and the Armory, alongside a network of parochial and public schools including Mount St Joseph Academy and Northwest Sch. As the landscape transitions toward the Aitken State Forest and the heights of East Mountain, the terrain becomes increasingly defined by the Cold River and Mill River drainages. A significant presence in the valley is the Rutland State Airport near North Clarendon, marking the era's infrastructure development. Long-standing local history is preserved in scattered burial grounds such as Old Marsh Cem and Parker Cem, while the Appalachian Long Trail traces the eastern ridges through Shrewsbury, highlighting the area's dual character as both a mountain crossing and a regional center.
