About this map

Lamoille River valley settlements define this post-war landscape, where the St Johnsbury and Lamoille County railroad provides a primary transport corridor through the Green Mountains. The 1948 field check captures several small Vermont communities such as Jeffersonville, East Fletcher, and North Cambridge during a period of steady rural commerce. Local education is represented by the Smiley Sch near the North Branch fork.

Topography is dominated by prominent summits including Fletcher Mountain, Wintergreen Mountain, and Burnt Mountain. Small-scale industrial activity is evident through various Quarry and Sawmill sites scattered across the hillsides, particularly near Waterville. These features, alongside family-named landmarks like Warner Hill and Bears Den Hill, offer a clear picture of the mid-century agricultural and timber-based economy in Lamoille and Franklin counties.
