1951 Map of Burke

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Passumpsic River and Canadian Pacific railroad corridor serve as the primary artery through this Vermont landscape, connecting the hill towns of the Northeast Kingdom. This 1951 survey documents a region characterized by upland farming and timber harvesting, with small clusters like Newark Street and Burke Hollow maintaining their local identity through community landmarks such as Newark Street Sch and the Burke Green Cem. The southeastern portion is dominated by the prominent peaks of Burke Mountain and Umpire Mountain, with much of the terrain protected within Darling State Forest Park. To the east, the Moose River valley supports scattered milling operations, including Moccasin Mill and Gallup Mills, reflecting the era's reliance on river-fed industry in these remote mountain valleys.
