About this map

St Johnsbury serves as the industrial and transportation hub for this portion of Caledonia County, where the Canadian Pacific and the St Johnsbury and Lake Champlain Railroad converge. The landscape is defined by its working water, from the Frank D Comerford Hydro-Electric Plant on the river to small-scale timber and milling sites like Goslants Mill and Morses Mills.

Rural life in the mid-century is meticulously documented through a network of district schools and upland hamlets. Settlements such as Noyesville, Mosquitoville, and West Barnet are connected by the historic Hazen Road and Brandon Highway. Natural features like Peacham Bog and the high peaks of Devils Hill and Macks Mtn provide a stark contrast to the developed valley floors, offering a comprehensive view of Vermont's agricultural and industrial character before modern interstate expansion.
