1948 Map of Mount Mansfield

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Mount Mansfield and the high ridgelines of the Mt Mansfield State Forest dominate this 1948 field survey, capturing the region's mid-century identity as a recreation and hiking destination. The geography is defined by prominent peaks and features like The Chin, The Nose, and The Forehead, connected by the early layout of the Long Trail. This map documents the supporting infrastructure of the era, including the Mount Mansfield Hotel, State Ski Dormitory, and various shelters like Taft Lodge and Butler Lodge. At lower elevations, the settlement patterns of Lamoille Co and Chittenden Co are visible through clusters at South Cambridge and Pleasant Valley. These valley communities, with sites like the Harvey Sch and local mills, contrast with the steep, forested slopes where features like Smugglers Notch and Bingham Falls draw seasonal visitors.
