2018 Map of East Alburg

About this map

Lake Champlain dominates this landscape where the Missisquoi River fragments into a complex delta of sloughs, bays, and marshes. At the eastern edge, the village of Swanton is anchored by the Swanton Covered Bridge, while to the west, the Missisquoi Bay Bridge connects the mainland to West Swanton and the peninsula of Hog Island. This terrain reveals a history of movement across water and wetlands, evidenced by the trace of the Old Railroad Passage cutting through the center of the sheet. Local genealogy is well-documented through scattered burial grounds including Riverside Cem near the riverbanks and Tabor Cem further inland. The map details a shoreline defined by points and ridges like Black Duck Ridge and Martindale Point, illustrating the intricate geography of the northern Vermont lakelands.
