About this map

Lake Champlain defines the western expanse of this region, where the state boundary between Vermont and New York cuts through open water near Colchester Shoal and Ferris Rock. The Vermont shoreline is deeply indented, characterized by prominent landforms such as Colchester Point and Porter Point that reach into the lake. Inland, the Winooski River meanders toward its mouth, creating the marshy environment of Halfmoon Cove and isolating Derway Island.

Settlement patterns are concentrated in the southern portion of the sheet within Burlington and South Burlington, while South Hero Island to the north retains a more open character. Local landmarks like the Heineberg Bridge and Allenholm Airport appear alongside significant cultural sites, including Ohavi Zedek Cem and Mount Calvary Cem. This document provides a look at the modern suburban and recreational interface with the lake, from the residential streets near Starr Farm Beach to the remote island clusters like Providence Island and Stave Island.
