2012 Map of Fairlee

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the primary boundary and geographical anchor for this region, separating the valley communities of Fairlee and Orford. In the early 21st century, the landscape reflects a balance of recreation and traditional New England settlement patterns. Notable recreational sites include Lake Morey and Lake Fairlee, which are surrounded by landmarks like the Bonnie Oaks Golf Course and The Palisades. The map identifies several small settlements including Bradford, Ely, and West Fairlee Center, alongside rural localities like Old Buffalo. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the density of burial sites such as the Whiting Family Cem, Kinderhood Cem, and Blood Brook School Cem. The area's complex topography is marked by named peaks like Morey Mountain, Echo Mountain, and Spaulding Hill, while the Waits River and numerous brooks illustrate the region's intricate drainage system.
