1986 Map of Westmore

About this map

Lake Willoughby dominates this 1980s landscape in Orleans County, where the glacial waters are flanked by the steep elevations of Goodwin Mtn and Valley Mtn. The settlement of Westmore sits at the northern end of the lake, serving as a gateway to the Willoughby State Forest. The hydrology of the region is complex, featuring the north-flowing Clyde River and the winding Willoughby River, which together drain a network of smaller bodies like Pensioner Pond and Echo Lake. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible in the scattered Gravel Pits and the presence of a Boat Ramp and Campgrounds, reflecting the area's dual character as a site of resource extraction and seasonal recreation. Genealogists may find value in the small Cem located near the riverbanks north of the main lake, marking the enduring presence of local families in the Brownington and Charleston townships.
