1896 Map of Strafford

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Copperas Hill and the surrounding mining and milling hamlets define this late 19th-century landscape in eastern Vermont. The survey captures the height of local industry at Copperfield and Mill Village long before the decline of regional copper mining. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of family-named heights such as Grannyhand Hill, Swaney Bean, and Whitcomb Hill, reflecting a period of intense upland settlement and farming. The drainage systems of the Ompompanoosuc River and the First Branch White River dictate the placement of older village centers like South Strafford and Tunbridge. Along the southwestern corner, the Central Vermont Railroad follows the White River, connecting these rural interior townships to larger commercial markets. This map serves as a vital record for genealogists tracing ancestors in settlements like Old City or New Boston, which appear here in their functional prime.
