2012 Map of Island Pond

About this map

Island Pond serves as a focal point for this Northeastern Vermont landscape, where the Clyde River and Pherrins River drain a complex network of glacial ponds and mountain brooks. The settlement patterns reflect a legacy of local community life, with numerous family and denominational burial grounds including Old Protestant Cem, Old Catholic Cem, and the Lakeside Cem. To the west, the village of East Charleston sits along the riverbanks, connected by early routes like Twin Bridges Rd and Church Hill Rd. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks such as Dolif Mountain, Job Mountain, and Bald Mountain, which overlook a series of smaller water bodies like Seymour Lake and Jobs Pond. For researchers, the map documents the concentration of civic life around the railroad-influenced village of Island Pond while also preserving the names of more isolated rural locales like Little Hedgehog and Bear Hill.
