2018 Map of Sheldon Springs

About this map

The Missisquoi River cuts a wide, winding path through this Franklin County landscape, serving as the historical axis for a string of villages and hamlets including Sheldon Springs, Sheldon Junction, and North Sheldon. The map reveals a dense concentration of burial grounds that mark the heritage of the region, from the Sheldon Home Association Cem near the river to the New Protestant Cem in the north. The presence of Rail Bed Rd indicates the path of former rail lines that once connected these riverine industrial centers. Further north, the terrain transitions toward the shoreline of Lake Carmi, where Patton Cem and Maple Grove Cem overlook the water. Numerous hills, such as Bridgeman Hill and Gates Hill, provide vertical relief to the valley, while small brooks like McGowan Brook and Rock River drain into the primary river channel.
