2024 Map of Island Pond

About this map

Island Pond serves as a primary hub in this Northeast Kingdom landscape, where the St Lawrence and Atlantic RR tracks navigate the narrow corridor between Bluff Mtn and the water. The settlement's history is preserved in a concentration of burial grounds, including the Old Protestant Cem, Old Catholic Cem, and New Catholic Cem, reflecting the diverse community that grew around the rail and timber industries. To the west, East Charleston sits along the Clyde River, which drains from the expansive Seymour Lake. The terrain is defined by significant elevations like Dolif Mtn and Job Mtn, with numerous smaller peaks such as Trip Hill and Rosebrook Hill shaping the drainage patterns of Mad Brook and Pherrins River. This network of brooks and ponds, including Jobs Pond and Sukes Pond, illustrates a classic glaciated upland environment where roads like Newark Rd follow the natural contours of the valleys.
