1954 Map of Wilmington

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Green Mountain National Forest dominates the terrain of this southern Vermont survey, where the valley of the Deerfield River has been transformed by significant mid-century hydroelectric developments. The massive Harriman Reservoir and Somerset Reservoir anchor the landscape, their waters bounded by Harriman Dam and the settlement of Medburyville. The map captures a moment when traditional hill farming and logging were being supplemented by the growth of winter recreation, evidenced by the Hogback Ski Area and the Molly Stark Lookout State Forest Tower on Hogback Mountain. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local data, including numerous family-named landmarks like Hosley Hill and a dense network of burial grounds such as Averell Cem, Riverview Cem, and the Dover Center Cem. Small community hubs like Jacksonville, Readsboro, and Heartwellville serve as focal points for the winding mountain roads.
