About this map

Isle La Motte and the northern reaches of North Hero Island dominate this portion of Lake Champlain during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the narrow passages and expansive bays that separate these islands from the Alburg Tongue and the New York shoreline. Local life centers on the village of North Hero and the distinct North Hero Station, which sits along an Old Railroad Grade that once connected these island communities.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of family-named landmarks like Earlys Point and Hazen Point, along with small burial grounds such as South End Cem and Jerusalem Cem. The map also highlights the area's recreational and educational roots, featuring Camp Abnaki near Hibbard Bay and the North Hero Sch. The inclusion of fine red dashed lines to represent fence and field lines provides a rare look at the agricultural boundaries and land divisions of the era.
