1948 Map of Mount Mansfield

About this map

Mount Mansfield and the surrounding Mount Mansfield State Forest dominate this landscape, which straddles the boundary between Lamoille and Chittenden counties. This 1948 survey, updated with 1970s revisions, highlights the early infrastructure of Vermont's recreation economy, including the Toll Road, Toll House, and the State Ski Dormitory. High-altitude landmarks like The Chin, The Nose, and The Forehead define the ridgeline, which is traversed by The Long Trail. Below the summits, hikers and skiers can trace locations such as Taft Lodge, Butler Lodge, and Barnes Camp. In the lower elevations, small settlements and industrial markers like South Cambridge, Morses Mill, and the Harvey Sch reflect the rural community life that existed alongside the developing mountain tourism of the mid-20th century.
