About this map

The international boundary between Vermont and Quebec defines the northern edge of this 1920 Progressive Military Map. Compiled by the Corps of Engineers, the landscape is characterized by a dense network of crossroads and small settlements like North Troy, Westfield, and Irasburg. The Canadian Pacific R.R. cuts across the northern sector, skirting the edge of Lake Memphremagog near Newport Center.

Tracing the waterways reveals a regional economy tied to the Missisquoi River and the Black River, where features like Phelps Falls suggest the industrial potential of the era. The terrain transitions from the valley floors to the heights of the Lowell Mountains and Bear Mt.. For those researching local history, the map provides an exacting look at numerous family-named junctions such as McAllisters Corner and Sherlaw Cor., alongside local institutions like the Grant School.
