About this map

The Lamoille River winds through the heart of this Lamoille County landscape, shaping the development of settlements like Wolcott and Pottersville. This 1980s provisional study, based on 1980 aerial photography, captures the rural character of the region as it transitions from the valley floor to the prominent heights of Jeudevine Mountain and Scribner Hill. The map documents a blend of conservation and local industry, featuring the extensive East Hill Wildlife Management Area alongside active local sites such as a Landfill and several Sand + Gravel Pits.

Smaller hamlets like North Wolcott are situated along the Wild Branch, while the eastern portion of the sheet reaches into the village of Hardwick. Numerous water bodies, including Wolcott Pond, Wapanacki Lake, and Hardwick Lake, punctuate the terrain, which is defined by a network of brooks such as Tamarack Brook and Kate Brook. For researchers, the presence of several marked Cemeteries and family-named landmarks like Elmore Hill and Brown Hill provide specific points of interest for genealogical study.
