1951 Map of Burke

About this map

Burke Mountain stands as a prominent landmark in this 1951 survey of northeastern Vermont, where the Passumpsic River and its East Branch carve through the granite-ridged terrain of the East Haven Range. The landscape is defined by small, clustered settlements like East Burke and West Burke, alongside several schools that served these rural communities, including the Packer Sch and Marshall Sch. The geography reflects a mid-century period when the local economy was deeply tied to the land and the transit corridors of the Canadian Pacific and the St Johnsbury and Lake Champlain railroads.
