2012 Map of Crystal Lake

About this map

The Barton River valley serves as the central artery for this Vermont landscape, where the villages of Glover and West Glover anchor a network of small upland farms and numerous glacial lakes. The prominent basin of Crystal Lake dominates the northeast, while Lake Parker and Shadow Lake define the western reaches. This area is notably rich in family and local burial grounds, preserving names such as the Welcom O Brown Cem and the Sheffield Heights-Cass Cem. The terrain is characterized by a series of significant rises, including Lone Tree Hill and Big Rock Hill, which frame the various ponds and brooks that feed into the larger river system. While Sheffield Heights sits to the south, the map illustrates the enduring rural character of Orleans County, with post offices and cemeteries marking the historical nodes of these hillside communities.
