About this map

Lowell serves as the central hub of this northern Vermont landscape, situated at the confluence of several mountain drainages where the Missisquoi River and E Br Missisquoi River begin their course. The settlement pattern is defined by the valley floor, with local history well-preserved in a cluster of burial grounds including St Ignatius Cem, Mountainview Cem, and Old Catholic Cem.

Elevations rise sharply to the west into the Green Mountains and to the east toward the Lowell Mountains. Significant local landmarks like Browns Ledges and Farman Hill overlook the river valley, while high-altitude features like McAllister Pond and Strawberry Hill mark the more remote western reaches. Traces of early transit are visible through labels like Hazen Notch Rd and Collins Mill Rd, which speak to the historical agricultural and timber-milling roots of this Orleans County community.
