About this map

St Albans serves as a major rail and commercial hub on the eastern shores of Lake Champlain in this 1914 survey. The city is defined by its complex rail infrastructure, including the Central Vermont and the St J and L C RR, which supported the region’s agricultural and dairy economy. Further north, the Missisquoi River snakes toward the Canadian border, passing through industrial nodes like Swanton and Highgate Falls, while the shoreline is dotted with early 20th-century recreational sites such as Kamp Kill Kare and the Lake View House.

The rural landscape is densely organized into numbered school districts, featuring landmarks like the Tuller School and French School. Natural features like Aldis Hill and Bellevue Hill overlook the city, while the marshes of Missisquoi Bay and points like Hathaway Pt illustrate the geography of the northern lake before modern shoreline developments. The map also records early cross-border connections at the Dominion of Canada boundary.
