About this map

Underhill Center and Riverside anchor the valley landscape in this post-war survey of Chittenden County. The map reveals a community defined by its rural education system, with several neighborhood schoolhouses such as English Settlement School, Irish Settlement School, and Governors Right School scattered across the hills. The terrain is a series of prominent peaks including Metcalf Hill, Flynn Hill, and Jack Lot Hill, which divide the drainages of Browns River and Roaring Brook.

Infrastructure from the late 1940s is detailed here, including the small settlement of Cloverdale and the North Underhill Cemetery. The map documents the intricate network of brooks—Beaver Brook, Morgan Brook, and Stevensville Brook—that carved the valley before later development. Boundary lines for Westford, Underhill, and Jericho show the political intersections that shaped local governance and land use during this era of Vermont's history.
