2021 Map of Highgate Center

About this map

The Missisquoi River winds through the heart of northern Vermont, anchoring the historic communities of Highgate Center and Highgate Falls. This 2021 survey details the dense settlement of Swanton and its surrounding hamlets, where the landscape transitions from the shores of Lake Champlain at Rock River Bay and Goose Bay into the interior wetlands and brooks. A notable concentration of genealogical sites is evident across the terrain, including Saint Marys Cem, Saint Louis Cem, and the Webster Cem. Transportation and infrastructure are central themes, featuring the Franklin County State Airport and the architecturally significant Highgate Falls Parabolic Truss Bridge. From the northern border at Highgate Springs down to Swanton Junction, the map illustrates a rural landscape defined by family-named roads like Partlow Rd and Tarte Rd, and landforms such as Limekiln Point and Carter Hill.
