About this map

Hinesburg serves as the central hub of this Vermont landscape, where the La Platte River and Patrick Brook converge near the local Post Office. The map documents a rural character defined by scattered hamlets like Mechanicsville and South Hinesburg, alongside smaller historical nodes such as Rhode Island Corner. For those tracing local families, the survey identifies several burial grounds including Hinesburg Cem, McDonough Cem, Tracy Cem, and Barker Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogical research.

The topography is dominated by significant elevations such as Mount Pritchard in the northwest and Hogback Mountain to the south. Lake Iroquois and its adjacent Lower Pond anchor the northern section of the quadrangle, with the surrounding road network including Magee Hill Rd and Sherman Hollow RD following the natural contours of the hills. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring balance between established town centers and the wooded uplands of the Champlain Valley.
