1995 Map of Averill

About this map

Great Averill Pond and Little Averill Pond dominate this Northeast Kingdom landscape, reflecting a remote wilderness character shaped by glacial geography and the timber industry. Located along the Canada-United States border, the terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Sable Mountain, Brousseau Mtn, and Averill Mountain. The drainage patterns of the Nulhegan River system, including the East Branch Nulhegan River and Black Branch Nulhegan River, suggest a region historically oriented toward logging, evidenced by the presence of numbered outposts such as Camp No 21 and Camp No 11. Protective management is indicated by the Averill Mountain State Wildlife Management Area, which covers the northwestern heights. This survey captures a moment when the area remained largely undeveloped, consisting of scattered camps and seasonal dwellings near the shores of Forest Lake and Wallace Pond.
