2012 Map of Highgate Center

About this map

Lake Champlain and the Rock River define the northwestern corner of this Franklin County landscape, where the international boundary sits just beyond the map's northern edge. The area is characterized by a mix of agricultural heritage and modern transit, featuring the Franklin County State Airport and multiple dairy operations such as the De La Bruere Dairy and Green Mountain Dairy Farm. The Missisquoi River cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle, passing beneath the Highgate Falls Parabolic Truss Bridge near the settlement of Highgate Falls. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the region, including the Saint Louis Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Sternes Cem. The local infrastructure is anchored by small historical nodes like Highgate Center, Skeels Corner, and Beaulieus Corner, reflecting a rural settlement pattern that persists alongside modern highway corridors.
