About this map

The Huntington River valley defines the character of this late 1940s landscape, where small agricultural settlements like Huntington Center and Hanksville are interspersed with local timber and stone industries. Education in these rural townships still relied on local landmarks such as Towers Sch, Fiddock Sch, and School No 12, which are carefully plotted alongside a Quarry and a Sawmill.

The eastern terrain is dominated by the steep rises of the Green Mountains, featuring the prominent peak of Camels Hump (The Lion) and the sprawling Camels Hump State Forest. The recreational importance of this area is evident in the presence of The Long Trail and remote hiker shelters like Wiley Lodge, Gorham Lodge, and Montclair Glen Camp. To the north, the Winooski River corridor serves as a vital transportation artery, carrying the Central Vermont railroad through the town of Bolton.
