2015 Map of Craftsbury

About this map

The Black River winds through this Orleans County landscape, anchoring a series of small agricultural and residential clusters including Albany, East Craftsbury, and South Albany. The terrain is defined by prominent rises such as Ames Hill and Miles Hill, which dictate the winding paths of rural thoroughfares like Lafont Rd and Centerbar Rd. For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, ranging from the Catholic Cem at Merrill Corner to the Mitchell-McLaren Cem near the southern boundary. This 2015 survey reveals a pattern of modern development that remains closely tied to early settlement nodes, as seen at Mill Village and Gebbie Corner. The concentration of named water bodies, including Great Hosmer Pond and Daniels Pond, suggests a long-standing reliance on these basins for local drainage and recreation.
