About this map

The Lamoille River valley serves as the central artery for this 1948 landscape, where industrial infrastructure and rural townships converge. The presence of the Central Vermont Line and the Ethan Allen Highway highlights the region's importance as a transportation corridor between Milton and the northern settlements. A significant landmark of post-war development is the Arrowhead Mountain Lake, created by the damming of the river, which reshaped the local topography near Arrowhead Mountain.

Genealogists will find valuable local data in the distribution of rural landmarks, such as School No 14, School No 6, and the Bellows Free Academy in Fairfax. Distinctive burial sites like Hope Cem and Beaver Cem are plotted alongside family-named landmarks such as Hubbard Corner and Cushman Hill. The map also documents active resource extraction through several labeled quarries, illustrating the local economy at the end of the 1940s.
