About this map

Lake Champlain and the Missisquoi River define the intricate shoreline of this northern Vermont landscape, where the waters of Maquam Bay and Long Marsh Bay separate fragmented points and islands. The village of Swanton sits on the eastern bank of the river, anchored by the Swanton Covered Bridge, while smaller settlements like East Alburg and West Swanton are linked by the Missisquoi Bay Bridge.

A notable historical corridor is preserved in the Old Railroad Passage Trl, tracing a former rail route across the wetlands of Hog Island and Charcoal Creek. Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds documented across the terrain, including Riverside Cem, Reynolds Cem, and Tabor Cem. The transition from the developed waterfront at Camp Maquam to the protected marshy stretches of Black Duck Ridge illustrates the balance between seasonal lakeside residence and the natural environment of the Champlain Valley.
