About this map

The city of Burlington serves as a vibrant lakeside hub at the turn of the century, characterized by the dense grid of streets surrounding the University of Vermont and the bustling Shipyard along Burlington Bay. The landscape is defined by its transit connections, from the Steamboat Route on Lake Champlain to the crossing of the Rutland RR and Central Vermont RR.

Inland, the terrain rises toward significant heights like Brownell Mtn and Mt Philo, while the Winooski River meanders past Winooski and Essex Junction. Evidence of early road networks is found in the Williston Turnpike, linking established settlements like Williston and Richmond. Local history is preserved in the detailed marking of Lakeview Cemetery and the more rural corners of the county, such as Rhode Island Corners and Prindle Corners.
