1924 Map of Camels Hump

USGS Topo · Published 1928

About this map

The Green Mountains define the physical and cultural landscape of this 1920s survey, dominated by the iconic peak of Camels Hump (The Lion). The Winooski River carves a central corridor through the peaks, serving as the primary artery for both the Central Vermont railroad and the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway. This valley connects the busy village of Waterbury, notable for the large State Hospital for the Insane, with the farming and milling settlements of Bolton, Jonesville, and Richmond. Higher elevation life is evidenced by the early path of the Long Trail and remote mountain shelters like Dinsmoor Lodge and Montclair Glen Lodge. Local schoolhouses, including the Fiddock School and Crossett Hill School, are scattered across the uplands, marking the centers of gravity for small rural neighborhoods that relied on the steep brook valleys of the Huntington River and Waterbury River.
