About this map

Lake Carmi and the winding Missisquoi River define the landscape of northern Franklin County, just south of the Canada-United States border. In the early 1920s, the region was a bustling network of small farming hamlets and industrial outposts connected by the Central Vermont railroad. The village of Enosburg Falls serves as a primary hub, while specialized industry is noted at Gilberts Tannery near Enosburg Center.

A dense concentration of nearly thirty local schoolhouses, such as the evocatively named Lost Nation School and Pumpkin Village School, reflects the decentralized rural society of the era. Settlement patterns follow the river valleys and rail lines, with vital junctions at Sheldon Junction and Fairfield Station. The terrain rises toward the south and east, culminating in landmarks like Shattuck Mtn and Peaked Mtn near the Lamoille County line.
