About this map

Lake Willoughby and Crystal Lake dominate the northern terrain of this Vermont landscape, where the Canadian Pacific railroad cuts through the glacial valleys of the Northeast Kingdom. The 1951 revision shows a deeply established network of rural education and community life, with several small schoolhouses like Old Red Sch and Sherburne Sch serving the uplands of Wheelock and Sheffield. In the southeast, the village of Lyndonville serves as a regional hub, home to Lyndon Teachers College and a central Lyndon Cemetery.

The map preserves the locations of numerous historic cemeteries, including West Look Cem and Browns Cem, which are essential for genealogical research in this part of Caledonia County. From the heights of Mt Pisgah and Mt Hor overlooking the deep waters of the lake to the industrial site at Fairbanks Mills, the sheet details an era of agricultural and small-town stability before the expansion of modern highway systems shifted the local economy.
