About this map

Lake Champlain dominates this coastal landscape, serving as the interface between Vermont and New York. The map details the complex shoreline of Burlington, stretching from the residential developments near Starr Farm Beach northward to the mouth of the Winooski River. This area represents a critical point of geography where the river forms Halfmoon Cove and passes under the Heineberg Bridge before entering the lake. On the northern shores, the lower portion of South Hero Island is visible, featuring Allenholm Airport and several family-named points like Robinson Point and Allen Point.

For local history, the map provides precise locations for several significant burial grounds, including Holy Cross Cem, Ohavi Zedek Cem, and Mount Calvary Cem. The aquatic landscape is equally detailed, marking navigational hazards and landmarks such as Colchester Reef, Colchester Shoal, and Hogback Reef. This modern survey illustrates the high density of residential road networks like Colchester Point Rd and Crossfield Dr that have come to define the area around Colchester Point.
