2015 Map of Mount Philo

About this map

Mount Philo dominates the landscape above the rural landscape of the Champlain Valley, marking a terrain of ridges and river valleys south of Burlington. The area is defined by the winding paths of the La Platte River and Lewis Creek, which cut through the agricultural lands of Shelburne Falls, East Charlotte, and North Ferrisburgh. These waterways were once vital to local industry and transport, a legacy preserved in landmarks like the Sequin Covered Bridge and Quinlans Covered Bridge. Local genealogy and settlement history are well-represented by numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Bradley Cem, Burritt Cem, and the Morningside Baptist Church Cem. The map also highlights the intersection of modern and traditional aviation through the presence of Shelburne Airport and Bostwick Farm Airport, while the southern border tracks the boundary between Chittenden Co and Addison Co near Cedar Lake.
