About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States defines the northern reaches of this map, where the village of Beebe Plain straddles the line. Centered on the southern tip of Lake Memphremagog, the city of Newport serves as a hub for the region's transport and commerce, featuring the Municipal Airport and the navigational Newport Stake Light. The landscape transitions from the developed waterfronts and the Golf Course to the protected wetlands of the South Bay State Wildlife Management Area.

Moving east, the terrain rises toward Shattuck Hill and Salem Hill, overlooking the winding Clyde River and Clyde Pond. The map documents the mid-1980s infrastructure of Orleans County, from the Drive-in Theater near Derby Center to the various cemeteries and rural school districts that anchor these Vermont communities. The proximity of Province Island and Black Island underscores the transborder nature of the lake's geography.
