About this map

The northern edge of Essex County meets the international border with Canada in this late 1980s topographical record. The settlement of Norton serves as the focal point, situated near the headwaters of the Coaticook River. This landscape is defined by its water and high peaks, including Gore Mountain and Round Mountain, which dominate the central terrain. South of the town, the large expanse of Norton Pond provides a significant landmark, while the Bill Sladyk State Wildlife Management Area covers much of the western map area.

Evidence of local industry and recreation is noted through features like the Gravel Pit and a Drive-In Theater located near Averill Creek. To the south, the map details the remote drainages of the North Branch Nulhegan River and the secluded Lewis Pond, offering a view of the Northeast Kingdom before more modern developments. The inclusion of the Station label near the pond indicates the area's historical connection to rail transportation.
