2021 Map of Crystal Lake

About this map

Crystal Lake and the Barton River dominate this landscape, reflecting the classic Vermont settlement pattern of villages tied to water and rail corridors. In the north, Barton and Orleans sit as primary hubs, while the rural interior is dotted with hills like Lone Tree Hill and Dexter Hill. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds, including the Welcome O Brown Cem near Cemetery Hill and the South Barton Willoughby Cem to the east. The landscape transitions from the open waters of Lake Parker and Shadow Lake in the west to the higher elevations of the Black Hills and Sheffield Heights in the south. This survey also records the boundary line between Orleans County and Caledonia County, providing a precise look at property and township limits near Long Pond and Mud Pond.
