About this map

The Winooski River and the Central Vermont railroad corridor anchor this 1948 survey of the Washington County highlands. The village of Waterbury is the primary hub, showing the State Hospital, a golf course, and the confluence of the Waterbury River and Little River. Westward, the terrain rises sharply into the Green Mountain State Forest and Camels Hump State Forest, where The Long Trail winds through the summits.

Tracing the valley floors reveals a network of rural schoolhouses, including the Bolton Memorial Sch and Crossett Hill Sch, serving scattered settlements like North Duxbury and South Duxbury. The landscape is a mix of industry and recreation, noted by several quarries, a Sawmill, and the Green Mountain Cabins. Higher elevations such as Crossett Hill and the remote Beaver Meadow suggest the early 20th-century character of these mountain towns before modern development expanded.
