1951 Map of Burke

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Burke Mountain dominates the center of this Northeast Kingdom landscape, marking a terrain of steep peaks and river valleys during the early 1950s. The map illustrates a transition from the agricultural valley of the Passumpsic River to the timber-rich elevations of the East Haven Range and Seneca Mountain. In this era, small rural centers like East Burke and West Burke are connected by the Canadian Pacific railroad, while isolated hamlets like Lost Nation and Gallup Mills suggest a history tied to logging and mountain life. The landscape is dotted with small-scale educational and spiritual landmarks, such as the Packer Sch, Bundy Sch, and Woodmont Ch. Recreational development is evident at Darling State Forest Park, which features a Ski Tow on the western slopes, reflecting the region's mid-century growth as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts alongside its traditional industries.
