2015 Map of Bridport

About this map

Bridport and Shoreham anchor this landscape of the Champlain Valley, where the terrain is defined by a series of distinct rises and the complex drainage of the Lemon Fair River. The area’s agrarian character is evident in the dense network of local roads such as Lapham Bay Rd and Crown Point Rd, which connect numerous family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the landscape, including Central Cem, Lakeview Cem, and the remote Northwest Cornwall Cem near the eastern boundary. The geography is punctuated by significant elevations like Saint George Hill and The Pinnacle, while the western edge meets the waters of Lake Champlain at Watch Point. A notable modern addition to the rural landscape is the Melrose Springs Airfield, situated near Cloyes Hill and reflecting the continued utility of the flat valley floor.
