About this map

The Missisquoi River and its tributary, the Trout River, carve through the northern Green Mountains at the Vermont-Quebec border. This landscape is defined by its historic river crossings, most notably a series of spans including the Hopkins Covered Bridge, Longley Covered Bridge, and Fuller Covered Bridge. These structures, alongside the Missisquoi River Bridge in the village of Richford, reflect a transportation network built around the region's complex water system.

Local genealogy and settlement history are well-preserved through numerous burial grounds such as the East Berkshire Episcopal Cem and South Richford Cem. The terrain rises from the river valleys toward landmarks like Hardwood Hill, while smaller hamlets like Montgomery, East Berkshire, and Samsonville anchor the surrounding rural road network. The map reveals the relationship between high-elevation landmarks like Guilmettes Pond and the valley communities they overlook.
