Map of Georgia, Vermont in 2026

Georgia runs from St. Albans Bay on Lake Champlain east past the interstate, and its old roads still lead to farmhouses from the 1700s. This map prints East Georgia and Oakland, Georgia Center, Georgia Plains, West Georgia, Hubbard Corner and Melville Landing, with the Ethan Allen Highway, Highbridge Road, Silver Lake Road, Plains Road, Stone Bridge Road and Georgia Shore Road.

Georgia is a town in Franklin County, Vermont.

KNOWOL made this map in 2026 from public survey data and gave it the feel of an old county atlas, shading the hills from United States Geological Survey elevation data and taking the roads and town line from the Census Bureau. Georgia fills the southwest corner of Franklin County, with Chittenden County to the south, St. Albans to the north, and the Lamoille River crossing its southeast corner. U.S. Route 7 and Interstate 89 both pass through and meet at Exit 18. Click here to purchase a print of this map for your wall.

A town named for a king

New Hampshire granted Georgia on August 17, 1763, and named it for King George III, a move the town page says was meant to win the king’s favor while New York and New Hampshire both claimed the land that became Vermont. The town organized on March 31, 1788, and James Evarts was its first representative. In the War of 1812, when smuggling was common across Vermont, Georgia’s people blockaded the trade with Canada to support the embargo. It worked so well that smugglers started calling the town “Hell’s Gate.”

Some of the first farmhouses still stand along the printed roads. On the Ethan Allen Highway, which is U.S. Route 7, the Solomon Goodrich Homestead has a back section from about 1786, among the oldest buildings in town, and a brick front added after a brickyard and sawmill opened. On Georgia Shore Road, the Evarts-McWilliams House of about 1799 is called the best preserved Federal period house known in the Franklin County area. On Highbridge Road, the Kemp-Shepard House shows the brickwork of mason Levi N. Kemp from about 1830; part of its farm went under water when Arrowhead Mountain Lake was formed in 1937. In the south-central part of town, Joseph Ballard bought his first 100 acres from Ira Allen in 1788, and the Ballards farmed that land for more than 200 years.

At Georgia Plains, near Plains Road, stands the brick Georgia Plain Baptist Church of 1877, home to a congregation formed in 1793. The congregation ordained Rev. Grace Brooks in 1919, the first woman pastor of any denomination in Vermont. Its longest serving minister, Alvah Sabin, was born in Georgia and was its pastor for 53 years and also served in Congress. On U.S. Route 7 north of the village center, the 1891 Brick School now holds the Georgia Historical Society’s Brick Schoolhouse Museum.

Georgia’s people
