About this map

Lowell serves as the central hub of this northern Vermont landscape, situated where the Missisquoi River meets the Burgess Branch. The topography is defined by the high elevations of the Green Mountains to the west and the Lowell Mountains to the southeast, creating a deep valley corridor that has historically dictated settlement patterns and transport routes.

Smaller hamlets and landmarks like Truland and Browns Ledges are documented alongside numerous water features, including McAllister Pd and the East Branch Missisquoi River. The presence of a local Cem and family-named features like Farman Hill and Leland Hill provide specific points of interest for those researching local lineage or the agricultural footprint of Orleans County during the mid-1980s.
