About this map

The village of Hinesburg serves as the focal point of this Vermont landscape, where the La Platte River and Patrick Brook converge near early industrial sites. The 1948 field check reveals a region transitioning from its agricultural roots, marked by landmarks like a Windmill and a Sawmill near South Hinesburg. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Barker Cem and other burial grounds scattered across the township boundaries.

Upland features like Texas Hill and Lincoln Hill frame a series of basins including Lake Iroquois and Lower Pond. Numerous active and historical Quarry sites are noted along the valley floor, particularly between the main village and Rhode Island Corner. The southern portion of the map records the rural character of Monkton Ridge and the winding course of Lewis Creek as it crosses the Chittenden Co Addison Co line.
