1948 Map of Georgia Plains

About this map

Lake Champlain dominates the western shoreline of this Vermont landscape, where the waters of the Lamoille River meet the lake near the Sand Bar State Park. This mid-century survey reveals a corridor defined by seasonal recreation and local agriculture, illustrated by the dense collection of shoreline retreats such as Camp Rich, Algonquin Camp, and Camp Everest. Inland, the terrain rises toward Bradley Hill and Eagle Mountain, with small rural schoolhouses like School No 8 and Towns Corner Sch serving the scattered farming communities. The road network connects established hamlets like Georgia Plains and West Milton, while the Sand Bar Bridge provides a vital link across the water toward South Hero. This 1948 edition, with later purple revisions, effectively captures the transition of the Champlain Valley as recreational camps began to dot the traditional dairy and orchard lands.
