About this map

Lake Champlain dominates this landscape of islands and peninsulas, where the border between New York and Vermont cuts through the open waters of Conner Bay and Mooney Bay. The settlements of North Hero and Isle la Motte are central to the archipelago's geography, connected by a network of local roads such as W Shore Rd and Quarry Rd. The islands are characterized by numerous small points and coves, including Fisk Point and Pelots Bay, which suggest a long-standing maritime and agricultural orientation.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several established burial grounds across the islands, such as South End Cem and Jerusalem Cem. Aviation history is represented by small airfields like Hawk's Nest Airport and Northern Lights Airport. The inclusion of the Alburg Tongue and narrow passages like The Gut illustrates the unique transport patterns required to navigate this portion of the northern lake.
