1948 Map of Mount Mansfield

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Mt Mansfield State Forest and its namesake peak dominate the eastern landscape, where early ski infrastructure like the State Ski Dormitory, Taft Lodge, and the Mt Mansfield Hotel are already established near The Long Trail. The Lamoille River valley serves as a primary transit corridor, hosting the St Johnsbury and Lamoille Co RR and the village of Cambridge Junction. Settlement patterns show a high density of rural schoolhouses and distinct ethnic enclaves such as the Irish Settlement and English Settlement in the township of Underhill. This topography illustrates a transition from the rugged slopes of the Green Mountains to the agricultural valleys where numerous family-named landmarks like Sanderson Corner and Smiley Sch reflect a deeply rooted local community. The presence of Morse Mill and the Fairfax Falls hydroelectric facilities indicate how the region’s water power was being utilized at mid-century.
