About this map

The Lamoille River carves a deep valley through this 1930 survey of Lamoille County, serving as the central artery for the region's transport and settlement. Along its banks, the St Johnsbury and Lake Champlain RR connects manufacturing and agricultural hubs like Johnson and Morrisville. The landscape is defined by the transition from riverine industry to the high peaks of the Green Mountains, including Sterling Mtn and White Face Mtn.

A dense network of rural one-room schoolhouses, such as Wescom Sch and Tyndall Sch, suggests a well-distributed upland population during this era. In the northern reaches, the Talc Mine near North Hyde Park and the extensive Upper Diggings point to the area's mineral extraction history. Natural features like Eden Lake and Cranberry Bog punctuate the high basins, while cemeteries such as Mountain View Cemetery provide essential markers for genealogical research.
