1925 Map of Jay Peak

About this map

Jay Peak and the high ridges of the Green Mountains dominate this 1920s-era landscape, where the northern border with Canada meets the rugged terrain of northern Vermont. The Missisquoi River valley serves as a vital corridor for both the Canadian Pacific and Central Vermont railroads, connecting international trade through the border town of Richford. In the southern portion of the map, the industrial footprint of the era is clearly visible at the Asbestos Mine on the slopes of Belvidere Mtn. Local life is recorded through an extensive network of schoolhouses, such as the Corey School and Woodward School, alongside small milling operations like Stevens Mill and Tillotson Mill. The presence of Hazens notch road underscores the historical transit routes through the gaps in the mountain range.
