About this map

The Lamoille River winds through the heart of this Vermont landscape, its waters captured at Arrowhead Mountain Lake before reaching the shores of Lake Champlain. The map illustrates a mid-century period of recreation and established agricultural communities, with numerous seasonal camps like Camp Norfleet and Camp Rich dotting the coastline of Malletts Bay and Great Back Bay.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground and the corridor of the Central Vermont railroad, connecting villages such as Georgia Center and Milton. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the significant footprint of the Fort Ethan Allen Military Res stands near the urbanizing edges of Burlington and Winooski. Detailed locations of rural infrastructure, including the Bellows Free Academy and scattered schools like Silverthorn Sch, provide a clear record of local civic life between the lakeshore and the uplands of Georgia Mountain.
