About this map

Monkton Boro and the rural hills of Addison County define this landscape, where the agricultural traditions of Vermont remain visible in the scattered family settlements and burial grounds. The map reveals a dense network of local cemeteries, including the Quaker Cem and Old Quaker Cem, which point to the area's deep-rooted Friends community. To the east, Cedar Lake and Mt Florona mark the rising terrain near Hogback, while the central lowlands are drained by the winding courses of Little Otter Creek and Mud Creek.

Transitioning from the small village of Barnumtown toward the western edge, the terrain levels out as it approaches Ferrisburgh and the city of Vergennes. The prevalence of small, named cemeteries like the Abel Thompson Cem and Carter Cem tucked away on local routes such as Plank Rd offers a detailed view of the settlement patterns that have persisted for generations in this part of the Champlain Valley.
