About this map

The Winooski River headwaters shape this corner of the Northeast Kingdom, where the rural settlements of Cabot and Lower Cabot sit within a landscape of steep hills and glacial ponds. The village of Hardwick appears in the northwest corner, while the eastern reaches are defined by high ground like Burbank Hill and the curiously named Lightning Bolt Field. For local historians and genealogists, the map reveals a high density of burial grounds, from the Cabot Village Cem to the remote East Cabot Cem and Plains Cem, documenting the early settlement patterns of these mountain townships.

Transportation through the area follows narrow valleys and ridge lines, including the historic Bayley-Hazen Rd and various local routes like Mackville Rd. Significant water bodies such as Nichols Pond, E Long Pond, and Coits Pond dominate the western terrain, overseen by the prominent Nichols Ledge. The inclusion of the Catamount Airfield near the southern boundary adds a modern navigational landmark to this traditional Vermont agricultural and forest landscape.
