This is a 1964 Vermont Life Magazine pictorial map of Vermont. The map celebrates moments in Vermont's history, with a focus on the American Revolution, while also promoting industry.

A Closer Look

Pictorial vignettes fill the state, many of which highlight historic events. Portraits of famous Vermonters appear as well, including President Chester A. Arthur, President Calvin Coolidge, Stephen Douglas, Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young. Short captions inform viewers about Vermont's history and its industries, including mining, logging, and farming. Green Mountain National Forest is, fittingly, shaded green. Larger vignettes along Vermont's border also illustrate its history. A striking depiction of Lake Champlain dominates the state's western border. A legend is situated to the right and has illustrations of the State Tree (sugar maple), State Flower (red clover), State Bird (Hermit Thrush), and State Animal (Morgan Horse) at its four corners.
