1953 Map of Jay Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Missisquoi River valley and the high summits of the Green Mountains dominate this mid-century portrait of northern Vermont. In Richford, the intersection of the Canadian Pacific and Central Vermont railroads highlights the town's role as a border-crossing hub, complete with a U S Customs station. The landscape transitions from the river flats to the high peaks of Jay Peak and Belvidere Mtn, where an Asbestos Mine and a Lookout Tower mark human industry and observation in the high country. Small rural settlements like Hectorville, Hutchins, and Samsonville are connected by winding roads through the Cold Hollow Mountains, while local education is anchored at sites like Cooks School. The presence of the Long Trail and Hazens Notch State Forest Park underscores the region's long-standing recreational and timber value.
