About this map

South Hero Island is defined by its relationship with Lake Champlain, with its western shoreline shaped by numerous inlets such as Wilcox Bay and Rockwell Bay. This survey captures the layout of the island’s primary settlements, including Grand Isle, Pearl, and South Hero, connected by a network of local roads that lead to critical transit points like the Grand Isle Ferry and the Sand Bar Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites noted, including the Quaker and Macomber Cem and the South Hero Cem. The landscape balances agricultural roots with modern recreation, shown through features such as the Allenholm Airport, Grand Isle State Park, and the Wilcox Cove Golf Course. Small offshore features like Kellogg Island and Fish Bladder Island dot the surrounding waters, emphasizing the isolated geography of the island chain.
