About this map

Lake Willoughby and Crystal Lake anchor this mid-century portrait of the Vermont uplands, where the Canadian Pacific railroad traces the corridor through Barton and past the Sutton Sta depot. The landscape is a network of ridges and valley settlements, from the concentrated hub at Lyndonville to the higher elevations of Sheffield Square and West Glover. In the southeast, the academic presence of Lyndon Teachers College stands near the confluence of Calendar Brook and the Passumpsic River.

Tracing local genealogy and rural development is made possible through the density of named schoolhouses and burial grounds. Landmarks such as Old Red Sch, Heights Sch, and the Squabble Hollow Sch reflect the era's localized education system. Meanwhile, family history and community bounds are marked at West Look Cem, Drowns Cem, and South Wheelock Cem, all situated amidst the dramatic elevation of Wheeler Mountain and Mt Hor.
