About this map

The W Br Passumpsic River and its eastern branch carve through this landscape in the Northeast Kingdom, anchoring a series of small settlements including East Burke, Burke Hollow, and East Lyndon. The terrain is defined by significant elevations, most notably Burke Mountain and its West Peak, which serve as a focal point for local recreation at the Burke Mountain Ski Area. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as Howland Cem and the North Kirby Brookside Cem.

Functional landmarks like the Burrington Covered Bridge and the West Burke Aerodrome reflect the region's blend of historic infrastructure and modern utility. The map illustrates a network of named rural roads, such as Darling Hill Rd and Gaskell Hill Rd, that connect dispersed farmsteads and hillsides like Bemis Hill and Sugar Hill. In the southwest corner, the Caledonia County Fairgrounds indicates a long-standing community gathering point near the banks of the Passumpsic River.
