About this map

Old Catholic Cem rests near the northern boundary of this Essex County landscape, situated along 105 Trl and a section of Closed (114) road. This modern digital survey documents a high-elevation wilderness dominated by the peaks of the Northeast Kingdom, including Gore Mtn, Bluff Mtn, and Mid Mtn. The terrain is defined by a complex network of timber and recreation paths such as the Gore Mountain Trl and Bluff Ridge Trl, reflecting the area's contemporary role within the Silvio O Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge.

Water serves as a primary geographic anchor, with the expansive Norton Pond to the west and the more secluded Lewis Pond to the southeast. Headwaters for several systems originate here, including the Coaticook River, which flows north, and the North Branch Nulhegan River, which drains the central valleys. The map provides precise detail for genealogists tracing family names associated with landmarks like Hedgehog Hill or Church Hill.
