1961 Map of Rutland

About this map

The urban core of Rutland serves as the focal point of this 1961 survey, revealing a landscape where civic institutions and industrial infrastructure meet the Green Mountains. The map highlights the city's role as a regional hub, featuring the Courthouse, City Hall, and numerous parochial and public schools like Mount St Joseph Academy and Longfellow Sch. Industrial activity is evident along the Clarendon and Pittsford RR, which follows the path of Otter Creek. South of the city, the landscape transitions into the agricultural and rural character of Clarendon, where the Rutland State Airport and the Gravel Pit near the Mill River reflect local economic needs. Notable recreation and preservation areas include Pine Hill Park and the expansive Aitken State Forest, which contains sections of the Appalachian Long Trail winding through the high elevations of East Mountain.
