About this map

Great Averill Pond and Little Averill Pond dominate this Northeast Kingdom landscape, marking the headwaters of the regional drainage system. The settlement of Averill sits at the northern edge of the water, where the terrain transitions into the high peaks of the Essex County wilderness. High points like Brousseau Mtn and Canaan Hill overlook a network of logging roads and early paths, including Averill Lake Rd and Jackson Rd.

The map reveals the complex hydrology of the area, centered on the E Br Nulhegan River and the East Branch Nulhegan River. These waters, along with smaller tributaries like Murphy Brook and Spaulding Brook, carved the valleys between Sable Mtn and Green Mtn. This survey captures the rural character of the borderlands, where human presence is limited to scattered cottages along Forest Lake Rd and Cottage Rd, surrounded by dense forest and steep elevations.
