2016 Map of Willsboro

About this map

The Boquet River meanders through this portion of Essex County, anchoring a landscape where small aviation strips and historic hamlets coexist. The settlement of Willsboro sits in the northern reaches, near the confluence of Brandywine Brook and the main river channel. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous burial sites, including Boardman Cem in the northwest and Burt Cem further south. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks such as Sugarloaf Mtn, Payne Mtn, and the dual summits of N Boquet Mtn and S Boquet Mtn. Aviation enthusiasts will note a cluster of private airfields, including Sunset Airport and the uniquely named Bonebender Airport. In the south, the village of Whallonsburg lies near the edge of the Webb Royce Swamp, illustrating the transition from the high peaks to the low-lying wetlands of the Champlain Valley.
