2021 Map of Bomoseen

About this map

Lake Bomoseen dominates this landscape in Rutland County, where the shoreline is punctuated by early 21st-century residential developments and recreational points like Crystal Beach and Avalon Beach. The terrain is characterized by a series of north-south ridges and valleys, featuring landmarks such as Cedar Mtn and Zion Hill. This topography shaped the local settlement patterns, concentrating communities like Hortonia and Hubbardton along the narrow corridors between the water and the rising slopes. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites reflecting the area's long history, including the Bradley Family Cem, Hortonville Cem, and the uniquely named Crystal Beach Town Farm Cem. Water remains the defining element of the region, from the smaller Beebe Pond and Echo Lake in the north to the Hubbardton River which winds through the western valley near West Castleton.
