About this map

Lake Champlain defines the western edge of this 2015 study, which details the expanding urban landscape of Burlington and Winooski along the Winooski River. The map captures the complex shoreline around Malletts Bay, featuring prominent landmarks like Malletts Head and Marble Island. Inland, the terrain is shaped by the Lamoille River to the north and numerous small waterways including Sunderland Brook and Indian Brook.

Several historic nodes are recorded, such as Chimney Corner, Nourses Corner, and Walnut Ledge, alongside established burial grounds like Champlain Cem and Munson Cem. The transition from the dense street grids of South Burlington and Essex Junction to the more open spaces of Munson Flat and the foothills of the Green Mountains provides a clear view of the region's contemporary development patterns and transportation networks.
