About this map

Otter Creek and the Rutland Railroad corridor define the western edge of this mid-century Vermont landscape, where the Green Mountains rise sharply into the Green Mountain National Forest. The map documents a transition between the valley industry of Wallingford and the high-elevation settlements like Belmont and Mount Holly. Significant local landmarks include the Weston Priory and the Wantagequet Trout Club, reflecting the area's spiritual and recreational history.

Further east, the terrain becomes a dense network of peaks and upland ponds, including Lake Ninevah and Wallingford Pond. The placement of the Landgrove Sch and various cemeteries near Weston and North Landgrove provides critical data for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Rutland and Windsor Counties. The intricate contour lines around White Rocks and Styles Peak illustrate the complex geography that shaped the timber and agricultural patterns of the era.
