About this map

Lake Memphremagog dominates the western portion of this international border landscape, where the waters of northern Vermont transition into Quebec. Along the shoreline, landforms like Province Island and Eagle Point define the aquatic boundary between the Orleans County side of the line and its Canadian neighbors. This survey captures a rural landscape where the international border is a lived reality, cutting directly through small settlements and along quiet backroads.

Concentrated near the boundary line are the communities of North Derby and Beebe Plain, the latter famously split by the border itself. Inland from the lake, the Johns River flows through open country accessed by local routes such as Darling Hill Rd and N Derby Rd. The map illustrates the quiet, cross-border character of this region, where geography and political boundaries have intertwined for generations.
