About this map

Hinesburg serves as the central hub of this Vermont landscape, where the La Platte River and Patrick Brook meet. The terrain is defined by significant elevations, including Mount Pritchard and High Rock to the west, while the eastern reaches are dominated by the heights of Lincoln Hill and Shaker Mountain. Industry and agriculture are noted through several Quarry sites and a Windmill located near the center of the quadrangle. North of the primary village, Lake Iroquois anchors the boundary between Williston and Hinesburg.

Smaller clusters like Mechanicsville and South Hinesburg show the distribution of 1940s rural life, supported by a network of winding roads through the foothills. Genealogists can locate the Barker Cem and other burial sites scattered near the Chittenden and Addison County line. The presence of a Sawmill and multiple quarries indicates a local economy still tied closely to the timber and stone of the surrounding hillsides.
