1924 Map of Enosburg Falls

About this map

Lake Carmi and the winding Missisquoi River dominate this northern Vermont landscape near the international border. In the early 1920s, the region was defined by a dense network of small rural schoolhouses like the Pomeroy School and Lost Nation School, which served a scattered agricultural population. Industrial hubs are concentrated along the river and rail lines, including Enosburg Falls and Sheldon Springs. The Central Vermont and St Johnsbury and Lake Champlain railroads intersect at Sheldon Junction, facilitating the transport of goods from local operations such as Gilberts Tannery. From the upland terrain of Little Pinnacle to the lowlands of Black Creek, the map captures a rural economy still heavily reliant on its waterways and rail connections before the dominance of modern highways.
