1948 Map of Gilson Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Lamoille River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, anchoring a series of small agricultural and milling communities in the years following World War II. The terrain is defined by numerous family-named peaks such as Coombs Hill, Leach Hill, and Armstrong Mountain, which overlook a network of rural schoolhouses and local burying grounds. The map captures a transitional moment for these northern Vermont towns, where traditional landmarks like Buck Hollow Sch and Fletcher Cem remained vital to the community fabric. Several industrial sites are noted, including a quarry near the village of Fairfax Falls and another north of West Fletcher, indicating the local extraction economy of the mid-20th century. The intricate placement of roads connecting Binghamville and Huntsville illustrates the historical settlement patterns before major highway developments altered the rural character of Franklin and Lamoille Counties.
