Extractions: MC# 364848 Privacy Statement Back to Destination Information A local move, in most cases, is a move done from city to city within a state or in a 50-mile radius from your current location. All local moves are regulated by your state's Department of Transportation (DOT) or the Public Utilities Conference (PUC). National Moving Network To request local move estimates in Vermont please click below: Local Move Vermont is predominately a rural state with low mountains, tidy villages, and a few small cities scattered about. The state's geography is defined by mountains and water. Running north-south down the state's spine are the Green Mountains, a chain of lumpy, forest-clad hills. About a half-million acres of these are part of the federally managed Green Mountain National Forest. Defining the border with New Hampshire to the east is the Connecticut River. This attractive, languorous river served as an artery of commerce during the region's early days. To the northwest, on the New York border, is massive Lake Champlain, which local tourism boosters like to say forms New England's "west coast." Vermont's leading industry is its landscape. With few exceptions, the entire state is uncommonly scenic. Travelers here find an America that many people have presumed lost, a land of rolling hills and silos, of leafy village greens and gracefully tapered church spires. While the generic strip-mall culture of the American suburbs is starting to make inroads in pockets around the state, most of Vermont remains remarkably well preserved.

Geography, level: Elementary As a homeschooler, I found it rather difficult to find interesting materials for U.S. geography, and the resources I had were lacking in cultural aspects. So, I had to get creative. What I did was break the states down into regions, such as Vermont was the Maple state (of course, we had to try out different maple syrups, and the hill state); Wisconsin the Cheese state (of course, trip to store for various cheeses was in order - and yes, I did gain 5 pounds!);Boston was the state of History, first library, first public school;Texas the cattle/oil/San Antonio state; Colorado the mountain/snow activities state; and so forth. Basically, we found one or two unique products that the state specializes in, whether it was textiles or shoes or oranges and brought the state to our very door. You could have each student pick a state and focus on the 'big' cities of that state and do a class report, bringing food known to the state, or types of music, such as jazz (New Orleans) or mariachi (Texas) and so forth. Even dances, amusements, natural landmarks make the state become more 'Alive', easier for student to grasp than the ole' dry textbook pick and choose latitude/longitude - though important, students loose interest quickafter all, when we travel, we want to see the people, taste the food, don't we, kids are no different.

Therefore, Lake Champlain is now the sixth Great Lake. Additional note: Due to the wording in the law, "The term `Great Lakes' includes Lake Champlain," and its location in the "definitions" section of the law may indicate that Lake Champlain is not really designated as a Great Lake but only for the purposes of this act. Lake Champlain, located on the border of Vermont and New York and entending a few miles into Canada , is on the verge of greatness . Senate Bill 927, which reauthorizes the Sea Grant program, has been passed by the Senate and is expected to be signed by the President within the next few days. The bill not only provides funds for educational purposes but it also officially designates Lake Champlain as the sixth

Extractions: By Alphabet : Encyclopedia A-Z V Related Category: U.S. Political Geography Vermont [v u Pronunciation Key Geography The forested Green Mts. constitute the dominant physiographic feature of Vermont. They consist of at least four distinct groups, all traversing the state in a generally north-south direction. Largest and most important are the Green Mts. proper, which extend down the center of the state from the Canadian border to the Massachusetts line, rising to Vermont's highest peak, Mt. Mansfield (4,393 ft/1,339 m). The Taconic Mts., occupying the southwestern portion of the state, contain Vermont's important marble deposits. East of the Green Mts. and extending from the Canadian border to somewhat below the middle of the state are the Granite Hills, so called because of their valuable stone. The fourth group, sometimes called the Red Sandrock Hills, extends along the Vermont shore of Lake Champlain. In E Vermont there are also isolated peaks or monadnocks not connected with the principal ranges. The rivers of Vermont (the only completely inland state of New England) flow either into the Connecticut River or into Lake Champlain. The Winooski rises east of the Green Mts. and cuts directly through them to Lake Champlain. Grand Isle county, comprising several islands and a peninsula jutting down into Lake Champlain from Canada, is connected to Vermont proper by causeways.

City Of Montpelier, Vermont: Geography geography ontpelier is centrally located in the State of vermont at the Winooski Riverruns eastwest through the entire length of the city and eventually http://www.montpelier-vt.org/geography.cfm
Extractions: ontpelier is centrally located in the State of Vermont at the confluence of the Winooski and North Branch Rivers. Montpelier's central location was one of the factors which led to its being chosen as the State capital. This central location also means that most of the state is within easy driving distance. The geographic context of Montpelier has always played a role in shaping the City's physical growth and appearance. Earliest development followed the low-lying valleys of the Winooski and North Branch Rivers, and progressed up the slopes of the hills that framed those valleys. Although the hills were mostly cleared in the late 19th century, today they form a wooded backdrop for the City's built environment, and the combination is now recognized as one of the City's great visual assets. The gold dome of the Capitol is accentuated both by the Statehouse's location on a rise of land and its backdrop of hillside forest. Views of downtown, looking south on Main Street, terminate in wooded hillsides. Entering Montpelier from the northeast, on Upper Main Street, the City in the foreground is set off by the distant view of Camel's Hump. Preserving the City's backdrop of wooded hillside and unbroken ridgeline should be a priority.
