About this map

The Lamoille River and its major tributaries, the North Branch and Brewster River, define the topographical character of this Lamoille County landscape as it appeared in the late 1940s. The village of Jeffersonville serves as a primary hub, situated near the confluence of several waterways and the St Johnsbury and Lamoille County railroad line. This rail corridor follows the river valley, connecting smaller settlements like Cambridge Junction and Cambridge.

Away from the river flats, the terrain rises sharply toward Wintergreen Mountain and Fletcher Mountain. Local infrastructure is marked by rural education sites like Smiley Sch and industrial activities indicated by several Quarry sites and a Sawmill. The map captures a post-war Vermont landscape where the economy still revolved around river-valley transport and highland extraction, with family-named features like Warner Hill and Ryan Mountain anchoring the geography of local history.
