2012 Map of Bridport

About this map

The agricultural uplands of Bridport and Shoreham dominate this survey, situated just inland from the eastern shore of Lake Champlain. The landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads connecting scattered farmsteads and small landing strips such as Melrose Springs Airfield and Torrey Airport. Significant local watercourses, including the Lemon Fair River and several branches of W Br Dead Cr, wind through the terrain between prominent local heights like Saint George Hill and Hemingway Hill. Genealogists will find a high concentration of small burial grounds serving these rural communities, ranging from the Northwest Cornwall Cem at the northern edge to the Knapp Cem in the south. The presence of Fair Bridge across the Lemon Fair River and the designated Po in Shoreham highlight the enduring structure of these Vermont agricultural centers.
