1988 Map of Gallup Mills

About this map

Victory State Forest and the surrounding timberlands of Essex County dominate this late 20th-century landscape, reflecting a region defined by conservation and historical industry. The map documents the remnants of the local timber economy at Moccasin Mill (Site) near Gallup Mills, a small settlement positioned at the confluence of several mountain brooks. These waterways, including Moose Brook and Lund Brook, carve through a terrain marked by peaks such as East Haven Mountain and Umpire Mtn. In the southern reaches, the Victory settlement and a local Gaging Station sit along the river, while the small village of Granby occupies the eastern slopes. This survey captures a specific moment in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, balancing the preservation of Darling State Forest Park with localized extraction at sites like the Gravel Pit.
