2021 Map of Spectacle Pond

About this map

East Brighton and the small settlement of Wenlock anchor the riverfront of the Nulhegan River in this Essex County landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies, including Spectacle Pond, Island Pond, and the secluded McConnell Pond. To the northwest, the elevation rises sharply toward Bluff Mtn, while the lowlands are marked by the John H Boylan State Airport and a complex of brooks such as Whiskey Brook and Tuffield Wiggin Brook. This 2021 survey illustrates a modern remote Vermont wilderness where traditional land use and recreation meet, highlighted by named features like Pine Point and Eagle Point. The map also traces the Spigot Rail Trl and the well-known Catamount Trl, showing how old transportation corridors and modern trails navigate the wetlands around Nulhegan Pond and Mile Pond.
