1954 Map of Woodford

About this map

The Green Mountains dominate this mid-century landscape, centered on the high peaks of Glastenbury Mtn and the town of Woodford. This survey reveals a region defined by its hiking and logging history, following the winding path of the Long Trail and the southern corridor of the Molly Stark Trail. The area is densely patterned with water features, from the high elevation of Lost Pond to the Adams Reservoir and Red Mill Pond near the town center. Local heritage is marked by established sites such as Glastenbury Camp and Fay Fuller Camp, alongside the Lookout Tower which once served as a primary observation point. The terrain transitions from the steep drainage of Bolles Brook to the broad, open Castle Meadow, illustrating the varied topography of Bennington County during the 1950s.
