1893 Map of Wallingford

About this map

Wallingford and its neighboring villages in the Green Mt range are captured here during a period of transition for Vermont’s rural rail and river industry. The topography is dominated by peaks like Mount Tabor and Styles Peak, while the valley floors are defined by the paths of Otter Creek and the West River. Settled pockets such as Mechanicsville, Tarbellville, and Healdville are shown at their Victorian-era peak, connected by a network of early roads and the critical tracks of the Rutland Railway and the Central Vermont. Local-history researchers will find interest in the precise placement of mountain ponds like Wallingford Pond and Patch Pond, which served the local economy before many of these high-altitude areas were reorganized under modern forestry management. The map also delineates clear township and county boundaries, including the line between Rutland Co and Windsor Co.
