About this map

The Ottanquechee River carves a central path through the Green Mountain landscape of Windsor County during the early twentieth century. This survey reveals a high density of rural schoolhouses, such as Mendall School and Cox School, reflecting a time when isolated hill communities like Chatauguay and Notown were still actively settled. The valley floor near Woodstock shows the infrastructure of the era, including the Woodstock R R (Abandoned) and the Lincoln Bridge.

Land use patterns are evidenced by the Town Farm near South Woodstock and the small industrial centers of English Mills and Bridgewater. The terrain is defined by named peaks and hollows, from Mt Tom overlooking the village to the remote Blueberry Ledges and Pinney Hollow. To the west, the map includes Plymouth Notch, the birthplace of Calvin Coolidge, during its years as a quiet mountain crossroads.
