1919 Map of Montgomery

About this map

Jay Peak 4018 dominates the eastern horizon of this 1919 progressive military survey, overlooking a Vermont landscape defined by deep valleys and the winding path of the Missisquoi River. Compiled under the direction of Col. Francis R. Shunk, the map captures a rural economy sustained by rail corridors and timber-fed waterways. The Canadian Pacific R.R. and Central Vermont R.R. bisect the northwest, connecting settlements like Richford and Stevens Mills to broader markets.
