About this map

Lamoille River valley life centers on the rail intersections and small farming hamlets in this mid-1920s survey of the Green Mountains. The landscape is defined by the Central Vermont RR and the St Johnsbury & Lake Champlain RR, which meet at Cambridge Junction. These lines supported the local dairy and timber economies, connecting places like Jeffersonville and East Fletcher Sta to wider markets.

Mount Mansfield serves as a focal point for early recreation and industry, featuring the Mt Mansfield Hotel, the Toll House, and Bingham Falls. Local civic life is remarkably dense, evidenced by numerous district schools such as Parsons School and English Settlement School, alongside specialized sites like Morse Mill. Small, possibly family-based communities like Irish Settlement and Binghamville reflect the intricate social geography of the era before modern highway expansion.
