1896 Map of Strafford

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Copperfield and Copper Flat reveal a landscape deeply influenced by Vermont's 19th-century mining economy, particularly near the town of Vershire. This 1894 survey, reprinted during the war, documents a network of highland settlements and river valley mills connected by the Central Vermont railroad along the White River. The topography is dominated by local landmarks like Gile Mtn. and Patterson Mtn., while water power drives the development of sites like Mill Village and Rices Mills along the Ompompanoosuc River. These named hills and brooks create a dense map of agrarian and industrial activity, including smaller hamlets like Post Mills and Union Village. The map serves as a record of the region's historical geography before the consolidation of these smaller rural centers, capturing specific family-named heights such as Kibling Hill and Grannyhand Hill that offer a detailed view for genealogists.
