1986 Map of Jay Peak

About this map

The northern reaches of the Green Mountains define this international border landscape, where the Canada United States boundary meets the heights of the Jay range. The high-altitude terrain is dominated by the massive summits of Jay Peak, North Jay Peak, Big Jay, and Little Jay, much of which is protected within the Jay State Forest. The map records the transition from the steep, forested slopes of Westfield and Richford down to the valley floors where historic river settlements were established. In the northwest, the Missisquoi River cuts through the topography near East Richford and Stevens Mills, while the southern portion of the quadrangle centers on the village of Montgomery Center at the confluence of Hannah Brook and the Trout River. A notable point of international transit is marked by the Customs post at the Quebec Vermont line, reflecting the area's role as a northern gateway.
