1944 Map of West Pawlet

About this map

The New York-Vermont border cuts through a landscape defined by small agricultural hamlets and a significant concentration of family burial grounds during the mid-1940s. Centered on the town of Hebron and stretching toward West Pawlet, the area shows a transition from active local infrastructure to a changing rural economy, evidenced by the presence of Sch No 4 (abandoned) and Braymer Sch (abandoned). The Delaware and Hudson railroad tracks parallel the Indian River in the east, facilitating the movement of goods between South Granville and the valley. Local industry and social life are anchored by features like Chamberlain Mills and the Hebron Ch, while a dense network of cemeteries such as Tanner Cem and Taylor Hill Cem provides a rich record of the region's early settlers and genealogical history.
