2018 Map of Albany

About this map

The Lowell Mountains dominate the western landscape of this Orleans County survey, marked by high-altitude features like Eden Notch and Bigelow Basin. This 2018 study reveals a classic Vermont settlement pattern, where the village of Albany and the community of Orleans sit along the drainage of the Black River. The presence of several family-history sites, including Albany Village Cem and the Craftsbury Common Cem, provides a detailed record of the region's long-standing rural population. The terrain drops from the peaks of Mt Norris down to significant water bodies like Lake Eden and Mud Pond. Historical transportation corridors are well-defined by the Bailey Hazen Rd, tracing through a landscape still shaped by its high-country ridges and river valleys.
