About this map

The Passumpsic River and Sleeper River converge at the industrial and educational heart of the Northeast Kingdom, where the Canadian Pacific railroad tracks trace the valley floor. This 1983 topographic study captures the transition from the densely settled streets of St Johnsbury, featuring the St Johnsbury Academy and St Johnsbury Hospital, to the surrounding agricultural uplands and dairy country of Danville and Walden. The map reveals a landscape defined by its water power and elevation, from the remote Steam Mill Brook Wildlife Management Area in the northwest to the recreational cluster around Joes Pond.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of rural landmarks like the Old North Ch and the Morrill Mine, alongside smaller hamlets such as Greenbank Hollow and Walden Four Corners. The infrastructure of the era is clearly marked by several major highway junctions, including Interchange 22 and Interchange 21, which facilitated the region's late-century connectivity while bypassing older centers like Passumpsic and North Danville.
