1927 Map of Mount Mansfield

About this map

The Lamoille River valley serves as the central artery for this northern Vermont region, where the St Johnsbury and Lake Champlain Railroad meets the Central Vermont Railway at Cambridge Junction. The settlement pattern reflects a mix of valley villages like Jeffersonville and Cambridge and upland hamlets such as the Irish Settlement. Higher elevations are dominated by the ridge of the Green Mountains, featuring the Mt Mansfield Hotel and the Halfway House along the Toll Road. Small district schools, including the Smiley School and Governors Right School, are scattered throughout the townships of Fletcher, Underhill, and Cambridge, indicating the density of rural family life in the 1920s. Industrial activity is represented by Morses Mill and the power generation at Fairfax Falls on the western edge of the survey area.
