1933 Map of Saxtons River

About this map

Grafton and Saxtons River anchor this late 1920s survey of Windham County, where the narrow valleys of the Williams River and West River dictated the early Vermont settlement patterns. The landscape is defined by its steep hills and the river-based economies of small villages like Brockway Mills and Bartonsville. The Rutland railroad winds through the northeast corner, following the riverbeds that provided the only level ground for transit through the higher elevations of Windmill Mountain and Round Mtn.
