About this map

The University of Vermont and Champlain College anchor the heart of this lakeside landscape, where the urban density of Burlington gives way to the suburban and industrial corridors of South Burlington and Winooski. Along the shores of Lake Champlain, the Island Line Trail traces the waterfront past Lone Rock Point and Burlington Bay, while the Museum Covered Bridge stands as a notable landmark near Shelburne. The map reveals a dense network of institutional and local history, particularly through its numerous burial grounds like Elmwood Avenue Cem and the Hebrew Holy Society Cem.

The Winooski River carves a path through the terrain, featuring the dramatic Winooski Gorge before flowing toward the lake. To the east, the Burlington International Airport occupies a significant portion of the plateau, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle transition into the rising elevations of Brownell Mtn and the fringes of the Green Mountains. Distinct neighborhoods and smaller settlements like Queen City Park and Twin Orchards are clearly delineated, offering a precise view of the region's contemporary development and preserved open spaces.
