Attention map lovers: Did you know that AOT maintains a library of maps that are available to the public? This includes state, town, and county maps; statewide highway maps; town and county highway maps; and other special-use maps. Maps are vital tools in the planning process at the state and local level and are kept up to date by the AOT Mapping Section. You can access these maps for research or for fun through VTransparency, our public information portal.
The Town Highway Maps archive is a great place to start. Search by county, town, or year, and see the evolution of your local infrastructure dating back to the first map series in 1931 and continuing to the present. See the craftsmanship of the hand drawn maps by the State, like the 1945 Newbury Town Highway Map. The archive also contains maps from sources outside of AOT, such as a map of West Newbury made in 1931 including drawings of landmarks, and designed with rings to show a 5-mile radius around the village.
There are thousands of maps in the collection, providing a look back into history and the artistry of cartography. Take a look for yourself! https://lnkd.in/e-6BJQay
