About this map

Island Pond serves as the focal point of this northeast Vermont landscape, where the Clyde River and Pherrins River converge amidst a network of highland peaks. The settlement of Island Pond is notably dense with genealogical sites, including the Old Protestant Cem, Old Catholic Cem, New Catholic Cem, and Lakeside Cem, indicating a long-established community history at this rail and water junction. To the west, East Charleston sits along the river valley, flanked by Hillside Cem and the rising slopes of Deer Hill.

The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Bluff Mtn, Dolif Mtn, and Bald Mtn, which separate numerous glacial water bodies like Seymour Lake, Echo Lake, and Jobs Pond. A complex web of local routes, including Gideons Mill Rd and Bear Mountain Rd, connects these isolated valleys and mountain lots, such as the curiously named Frenchmans Lot near Bear Hill. The map provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns of the E Br Passumpsic River and various mountain brooks that have shaped the region's development.
