About this map

The Lamoille River and the St Johnsbury and Lake Champlain Railroad form the industrial and transport spine of this 1930 survey, connecting the bustling villages of Morristown, Morrisville, and Hyde Park. The landscape is a mix of river-bottom settlements and upland extraction, evidenced by the Talc Mine near Johnson and the extensive Upper Diggings and Lower Diggings in the eastern hills.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural schoolhouses, including the McKinistry Sch. and Edson Hill Sch., alongside established burial grounds like Mountain View Cemetery. The geography ranges from the high peaks of White Face Mtn. and Laraway Mtn. to the recreational waters of Lake Lamoille and the Fairgrounds, showing a county transitioning from 19th-century resource extraction to early 20th-century local commerce.
