About this map

Monkton Boro and the surrounding townships in Addison County showcase a landscape of mid-century Vermont defined by small dairy farming communities and deep-rooted family history. The sheet is exceptionally dense with small family and community burial grounds, such as Quaker Cem, Collins Cem, and the Old Quaker Cem, reflecting the early 19th-century settlement patterns of the Friends and other early residents near Lewis Creek.

The western portion is anchored by the city of Vergennes, where the intersection of Vermont 22A and Plank Road highlights the area's historical role as a regional transportation hub. Educational history is visible through landmarks like Beeman Academy and Union High Sch. From the high ridges of Shellhouse Mountain and Hogback down to the low drainage of Little Otter Creek, the map records a balance of agricultural utility and the natural boundaries of Cedar Swamp.
