2024 Map of Norton Pond OE N

About this map

The international border between the Canada and the United States Of America defines the character of this northern Essex County landscape. Centered on the settlement of Norton, the terrain is dominated by a complex network of waterways that flow across the frontier, including the Coaticook River and the Ruisseau de Ladd's Mills. The naming conventions of features like Étang Cloutier, Lac à Robert, and Cours d'eau Vaillancourt reflect the deep French-Canadian cultural influence that persists along this section of the Vermont border. Local history is anchored at Saint Bernards Cem near the intersection of 114 and Baumann Rd. This survey documents the contemporary drainage and trail systems, such as the 105 Trl and 105A Trl, which navigate the wooded areas around Black Turn Brook and Mosher Meadow Brook, illustrating the region's reliance on both its water resources and recreational paths.
