About this map

The Black River snakes through the heart of this Orleans County landscape, anchoring the village of Irasburg and the town of Coventry. This 2012 survey captures the rural character of Northern Vermont, where agriculture and topography dictate the winding paths of roads like Back-Coventry Rd and Reservoir Rd. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, identifying numerous local burial grounds including the Village Cem, Irasburg Cem, and the Saint John Vienny Cem.

Landmarks like the Orne Covered Bridge crossing the river north of Irasburg highlight the preservation of traditional infrastructure. The terrain is defined by distinct elevations such as Black Hill, Stony Hill, and Chamberlain Hill, while water bodies like Kidder Pond and Potters Pond dot the hillsides. This record reflects a community shaped by its river valley and the enduring networks of family-named landmarks and historical cemeteries.
