1924 Map of Camels Hump

About this map

Camels Hump and the surrounding Green Mountains define this 1920s landscape, where the Winooski River carves a deep valley followed by the Central Vermont Railway. The infrastructure of the early 20th century is evident in the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway and the State Hospital for the Insane in Waterbury. For those interested in the history of recreation, the map documents early segments of the Long Trail and remote shelters like Montclair Glen Lodge and Dunsmoor Lodge. The survey captures a transition between the industrial activity at Bolton Falls and the high peaks of Mt Ethan Allen and Mt Ira Allen. Rural life is preserved through a network of district schools, including No 13 School and the Fiddock School, alongside smaller hamlets like Hanksville and North Duxbury.
