2015 Map of Vergennes East

About this map

Monkton Boro and Barnumtown anchor the eastern landscape of this Addison County region, where the terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Shellhouse Mtn, Mt Fuller, and the long ridge of Hogback. The area is notably dense with burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research with sites including Quaker Cem, Old Quaker Cem, and the Abel Thompson Cem. These cemeteries, often named for early local families, are situated along a network of historic thoroughfares like Plank Rd and Monkton Rd. The drainage patterns of Little Otter Creek and Lewis Creek illustrate the natural irrigation of the valley floor between the city of Vergennes and the rolling hills to the east. This 2015 survey reflects a landscape that has preserved its rural character and agrarian boundaries even as modern infrastructure links these historic settlements.
