About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States bisects this landscape, creating a distinct transition between the agrarian drainage networks of southern Quebec and the rugged shoreline of Vermont. To the south, the northeastern reaches of Lake Champlain dominate the coast, where local roads like Country Club Rd and Sunset Dr skirt the water's edge. This area preserves local family history through sites like the Deal Cem and Brewer Cem, nestled among the hills near Proper Pond and the Rock River. North of the border, the terrain is defined by an intricate system of streams and ditches, including Rivière aux Brochets and Ruisseau Meigs, which drain the lowlands of Brome-Missisquoi. These waterways, such as the Étang Streit and Ruisseau Brandy, reflect a managed landscape of agricultural tracts and timbered buffers common to the international boundary region.
