2012 Map of Newport Center

About this map

Newport Center and South Newport anchor this agricultural and wooded landscape of Orleans County, Vermont, as it appeared in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Allen Hill, Coburn Hill, and Cleveland Hill, with the waters of Lake Memphremagog just touching the northern boundary. The local road network, including family-named routes like Browns Hill Rd and Collins Mill Rd, suggests a legacy of homesteading and early timber or milling operations. Water is a constant presence, with Dunn Brook, Beetle Brook, and Stony Brook threading through the valleys toward the Black River. This survey captures the rural character of the region, where sites like Center Cem and the former rail stop at Summit Siding mark the enduring points of local community and transport history.
