1978 Map of East of North Troy Station

About this map

The international boundary between Canada and the United States bisects this Vermont landscape, where the waters of Lake Memphremagog meet the shoreline at Magoon Point. This photo-rectified survey, produced in cooperation with the U.S. Customs Service, highlights the trans-border connectivity of the late 1970s. The Canadian Pacific railroad cuts through the southern half of the sheet, passing Summit Siding and following the course of Mud Creek. Dominating the central terrain is the massive profile of Bear Mountain, flanked by other prominent heights such as Province Hill and Allen Hill. The settlement of Leadville appears near the intersection of Leadville Road and Lake Road, illustrating the rural development patterns in this border region. The mix of cleared fields and dense forest reflects the enduring agricultural and timber character of Orleans County during this era.
