2021 Map of North Hero

About this map

Lake Champlain dominates this study of the islands and peninsulas along the Vermont and New York border, revealing a landscape defined by water and narrow land bridges. The settlement of North Hero occupies the central island, where roads like Station Rd and U S Shore Rd connect local farms to the shoreline. To the west, Isle la Motte shows a concentration of local history markers, including the South End Cem and the aviation facilities at Hawk's Nest Airport. The complex hydrography of the region is evident in the narrow passages of La Motte Passage and Alburg Passage, which separate the islands from the Alburg Tongue. This era shows a mix of agricultural heritage and seasonal activity, with several small cemeteries like Hyde Cem and Jerusalem Cem providing critical data points for genealogical research in this historic border region.
