About this map

Rutland serves as the focal point of this Vermont landscape, where the urban grid meets the rising slopes of East Mountain. The city's mid-century footprint is detailed with civic landmarks like the Courthouse, Post Office, and Armory, while the industrial and social infrastructure includes the Clarendon and Pittsford RR and Mount St Joseph Academy. To the south, the valley widens around North Clarendon and East Clarendon, revealing a network of rural institutions such as Union Chapel and the Rutland State Airport.

Transitioning from the valley floor carved by Otter Creek, the terrain climbs sharply into the Aitken State Forest. This interface between the developed valley and the wooded heights of Round Hill and Wilcox Hill is punctuated by smaller water bodies like Piedmont Pond and Eddy Pond. The inclusion of various burial grounds, from St Josephs Cem to the isolated Old Marsh Cem, provides specific points of interest for genealogical research in this historic region.
