2015 Map of Island Pond

About this map

Island Pond serves as a central hub for this corner of the Northeast Kingdom, where the village is defined by its namesake water body and the proximity of the Clyde River. The town layout in this era shows a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Old Protestant Cem, Old Catholic Cem, and Lakeside Cem, which offer significant data for genealogical research. To the west, the village of East Charleston sits along the river, surrounded by a landscape of family-named peaks such as Hopkins Hill and Meehan Hill. The drainage patterns are intricate, with numerous brooks like Buck Brook and Mad Brook feeding into larger systems, while the presence of the Orleans Co Essex Co line indicates the administrative boundaries that have shaped local governance. This survey reflects a region where the rugged topography of Bald Mtn and Dolif Mtn dictates the winding paths of rural roads like 10 Mile Square Rd.
