1948 Map of Huntington

About this map

Huntington River carves a deep valley through the Green Mountains in this late 1940s topography, later revised with 1970s structural updates. The map captures the small-scale settlement patterns of Huntington, Huntington Center, and Hanksville, where homes and farms cling to the narrow lowlands along Hollow Brook and Brush Brook. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward the iconic summit of Camels Hump (The Lion), a landscape dominated by the Camels Hump State Forest. The inclusion of The Long Trail and remote shelters like Gorham Lodge and Montclair Glen Camp highlights the area's established identity as a hiking destination. Along the northern edge, the Winooski River corridor facilitates vital transport via the Central Vermont railroad, contrasting the quiet, localized road networks of the southern townships. Educational history is preserved through markers for Towers Sch and School No 12, anchoring the rural social geography of the era.
