2012 Map of Norton Pond

About this map

Norton Pond and its surrounding highlands define this portion of Essex County, where the terrain transitions between the Coaticook River watershed and the upper reaches of the Nulhegan. This landscape is characterized by prominent peaks including Gore Mountain, Round Mountain, and Middle Mountain, which stand as landmarks over a dense network of watercourses like Sucker Brook and Tim-Carroll Brook. Near the northern border, the Old Catholic Cem and Church Hill indicate small clusters of historical settlement, while roads such as Blackburn Brook Rd and Gagnon Rd suggest the long-standing routes used for local transport and land management. The presence of both the N Br Nulhegan River and the Black Br Nulhegan River highlights the complex drainage patterns of this wooded interior, making it a significant area for studying the hydrological and topographical history of northeastern Vermont.
