1930 Map of Hyde Park

About this map

Morrisville and the town of Hyde Park anchor this Lamoille County landscape as it appeared during the late 1920s. The Lamoille River serves as the central artery for the region, feeding into Lake Lamoille and passing landmarks like Itiel Falls and the Fairgrounds. Industrial activity is evident at the Talc Mine near North Hyde Park and within the Upper Diggings and Lower Diggings districts. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of early 20th-century social infrastructure, identifying dozens of neighborhood schoolhouses such as Mud City School and North La Porte School, along with well-established burial grounds like Mountain View Cemetery. Higher elevations include Laraway Mountain and White Face Mountain, where the Long Trail traverses the ridgelines. The southeastern corner is dominated by Elmore Mountain overlooking Elmore Pond, illustrating the mix of agricultural valleys and timbered highlands that defined this era.
