1951 Map of Burke

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Darling State Forest Park dominates the southern landscape, where Burke Mountain rises above the transition from timbered ridges to river valley farming. This early 1950s survey documents the Northeast Kingdom's rural infrastructure, featuring a dense network of local district schools like Newark Street Sch and Bundy Sch. The drainage of the Passumpsic River and the Moose River defines the settlement patterns of West Burke and Gallup Mills, while the Canadian Pacific railroad cuts through the western edge of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find numerous small burial grounds, including the Victory Hill Cem and Burke Green Cem. The topography is defined by the East Haven Range, with isolated spots like Lost Nation reflecting the region's character. High-altitude landmarks such as the Ski Jump and Ski Tow on Burke Mountain point to the area's emerging recreation economy.
