About this map

The Missisquoi River and the Black River carve through this section of the northern Green Mountains, defining the development of border towns like North Troy and Lowell. At the northern edge, the international boundary with Canada is marked between Quebec and the United States, just south of Lake Memphremagog. The landscape is a network of small upland farms and valley settlements connected by the Canadian Pacific railroad, which climbs to Summit Siding near Newport Center.

Rural education is heavily documented here, with numerous district schoolhouses such as the East Hill School, West Road School, and Hitchcock School serving isolated neighborhoods. The terrain is dominated by prominent heights like Jay Peak and the Jay Mountains, while the river valleys provided power at sites like Phelps Falls and Big Falls. Notable local landmarks like Hazens Notch and Browns Ledges offer points of reference for those tracing family history in this frontier region.
