2024 Map of Averill

About this map

Great Averill Pond and Little Averill Pond anchor this landscape in Essex County, defined by its complex network of glacial lakes and mountain peaks. The northern settlement of Averill sits near the Canadian border, while the southern reaches are preserved within the Silvio O Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge. The drainage patterns are distinct, with the East Branch Nulhegan River and Black Branch Nulhegan River flowing south through the highlands. Steep elevations like Brousseau Mtn and Sable Mtn rise sharply above narrow valley roads, reflecting the isolated, timber-driven character of the Northeast Kingdom. A network of logging routes and lakeside drives, such as Little Averill Lake Rd and Hatchery Brook Rd, provides the primary access to these remote waters and surrounding timberlands.
