2015 Map of Sheldon Springs

About this map

The Missisquoi River carves a central path through this Franklin County landscape, defining the layout of historic settlements like Sheldon Springs and Sheldon Junction. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain characterized by agricultural valley floors and the rising slopes of the Green Mountains and Bridgeman Hill. The region's genealogy is preserved in numerous burial grounds, from the Sheldon Union Cem to the Saint Anthonys Cem, reflecting the area's long-established religious and community foundations. In the northeast, the shoreline of Lake Carmi serves as a major focal point, surrounded by access routes like Patton Shore Rd and Mullen Shore Rd. The map also traces the drainage patterns of Rock River and McGowan Brook, which feed into the Missisquoi, supporting the traditional river-valley settlement patterns seen at North Sheldon and Shawville.
