1953 Map of Jay Peak

About this map

The Missisquoi River cuts through the northern Green Mountains in this early 1950s record, defining a corridor of commerce and travel just south of the Canadian border. At Richford, the Canadian Pacific railroad and Central Vermont lines converge near the Richford Country Club, marking the town's importance as a rail hub and port of entry, underscored by the U S Customs post at East Richford. To the south, the landscape rises sharply toward the summits of Jay Peak and Big Jay, where the Long Trail follows the spine of the ridge.
