2012 Map of East Alburg

About this map

Lake Champlain dominates this landscape where the waters of the Missisquoi River wind through complex marshes and islands toward the Maquam Bay. The geography is defined by a series of points and ridges, such as Black Duck Ridge and McGregor Point, which have shaped the settlement patterns of East Alburg and West Swanton. The Missisquoi Bay Bridge serves as a vital corridor across the water, connecting these lakefront communities. Historically significant structures and family markers are found throughout the area, notably the Swanton Covered Bridge and several burial grounds including Riverside Cem, Reynolds Cem, and Janes Cem. The shoreline is also a destination for recreation, evidenced by Lakewood Campground and Camp Maquam. This map details the intricate network of creeks, like Charcoal Cr and Dead Cr, that lace the wetlands surrounding Hog Island, illustrating the unique aquatic environment of the Vermont lakefront.
