About this map

The eastern shores of Lake Champlain define this mid-1960s landscape, where the waters of St Albans Bay and Lapans Bay cut into the Vermont coastline. The map details a transition from the agricultural interior of Georgia and St Albans townships toward the recreational and maritime focus of the lakefront. Scattered along the peninsula of Hathaway Point and the village of St Albans Bay, the survey records local landmarks such as the State Boat Dock and the St Albans Point Cem.

Offshore, the islands provide a view of protected lands and early conservation efforts, notably Burton Island State Park with its Boat Basin and the large, farm-patterned Butler Island. Farther south, the industrial presence of a Quarry near Melville Landing contrasts with the surrounding wetlands of the Mill River delta, illustrating the diverse ways the shoreline was utilized for industry, residence, and leisure in the mid-century era.
