2012 Map of Lowell

About this map

Lowell and Lowell Plain serve as the primary settlement centers in this early 21st-century documentation of the upper Missisquoi River valley. The town layout is characterized by its proximity to several distinct burial grounds, including the Old Catholic Cem, St Ignatius Cem, and Mountainview Cem, providing significant geographical markers for local genealogy. The landscape is defined by the river’s confluence with the E Br Missisquoi River and Burgess Br, while the eastern horizon is dominated by the Lowell Mountains. The transport network of the era is remarkably detailed, recording numerous family-named routes such as Robtoy Rd, Diette Rd, and Lacross Rd that snake through the uplands near Farman Hill and Leland Hill. This mapping captures the rural character of the region, where numerous brooks like Taft Brook and Snider Brook carve through the terrain between Browns Ledges and McAllister Pond.
