About this map

Lyndonville serves as the primary hub in this mid-1980s Northeast Kingdom landscape, where the Passumpsic River and Miller Run converge. The area’s academic and civic character is anchored by Lyndon State College and the Caledonia County Airport, situated near the winding course of Quimby Brook. To the north and west, the terrain rises into the Mathewson State Forest, a landscape defined by the steep slopes of Hammond Hill and Mathewson Hill.

Rural life in Wheelock and Sheffield is mapped through scattered settlements like Ramsey Corner and South Wheelock, connected by mountain brooks such as Fall Brook and Chamberlain Bk. This survey captures the region just before the digital era, detailing a network of cemeteries, small ponds like Bean Pond, and family-named landmarks like Burroughs that remain essential for local genealogists and land-use historians.
