Geography
The CDP is on the eastern edge of Orange County, in the southeastern part of the town of Fairlee. It is bordered to the east by the Connecticut River, which forms the Vermont–New Hampshire border. The town of Orford, New Hampshire, is to the east across the river. U.S. Route 5 passes through the center of the village, and Interstate 91 runs along the western edge. Both highways lead north 7 miles (11 km) to Bradford and south the same distance to Thetford. Vermont Route 25A leads east 350 feet (110 m) to the Samuel Morey Memorial Bridge across the Connecticut River, at which point it becomes New Hampshire Route 25A, leading into Orford.
