About this map

The Lamoille River defines the lower corridor of this mid-1980s Vermont landscape, flowing past the village of Wolcott and the smaller cluster at Portersville. The map captures a transition in Lamoille County where valley settlements give way to significant high-ground features like Jeudevine Mountain and The Ledges. Land use in this era is represented by active Sand and Gravel Pits near the river and the expansive East Hill Wildlife Management Area to the north.

Water is a dominant theme beyond the main river, with numerous basins like Wolcott Pond, Keeler Pond, and Wapanacki Lake dotting the terrain. Smaller settlements like North Wolcott sit along tributaries such as the Wild Branch, while the eastern edge of the quadrangle reaches into Hardwick and the shore of Hardwick Lake. The presence of a local Landfill and several small Cemeteries provides specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the community footprint during the late 20th century.
