About this map

Lyndonville and the surrounding townships of Caledonia County are defined here by a series of north-south ridges and the waters of the Passumpsic River. The landscape in the mid-1980s reveals a mix of academic life at Lyndon State College and the rural character of high terrain like Pudding Hill and Mathewson Hill. Dense woodlands of the Mathewson State Forest cover the northern heights, while the valley floor supports the village centers and the Caledonia County Airport.

Tracing the numerous brooks and branches, such as Miller Run and Fall Brook, highlights how settlement followed these waterways through gaps like Squabble Hollow. From the small crossroads at Ramsey Corner to the established neighborhoods of Lyndon and Sheffield, this map documents the persistent agricultural and forestry footprint that shapes this part of Vermont. Researchers will find numerous unmarked cemeteries throughout the hills, signifying the long-standing family foundations of these upland communities.
