About this map

The Barton River valley serves as the central corridor for this 2018 survey of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, connecting the villages of Barton and Orleans. The landscape is defined by its glaciated basins, most notably the deep waters of Crystal Lake and the smaller, high-elevation Lake Parker near West Glover. Significant topographic variation is evident in the surrounding hills, including Still Hill and Lone Tree Hill, which rise sharply from the valley floor.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-mapped burial grounds across this rural terrain, such as the Welcome O Brown Cem and the South Barton Willoughby Cem. The map highlights the transition between Orleans Co and Caledonia Co at the southern edge, where Sheffield Heights sits near the headwaters of Nation Brook. The network of local roads like Breezy Hill Rd and Pageant Park Rd provides a clear view of modern settlement patterns in this upland region.
