==Geography== According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the town has a total area of 38.6 square miles (100.0 km<sup>2</sup>), of which 37.9 square miles (98.1 km<sup>2</sup>) is land and 0.7 square mile (1.9 km<sup>2</sup>) (1.92%) is water. The surface of the town is uneven, with hills and valleys. The highest elevation is Black Hills, at {{convert|2258|ft|m}}, in the south part of town.<ref>[http://www.hometownlocator.com/DisplayCountyFeatures.cfm?FeatureType=summit&SCFIPS=50019 Orleans County Vermont Summits<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The town drains northward via the northern branches of the [[Barton River]], and southward via branches of the Passumpsic, Lamoille, and Black Rivers, which have their sources here. Four ponds of considerable size also are found here, [[Lake Parker (Vermont)|Parker Pond]], in the north, Clark's pond, in the central, and Sweeney pond in the west, as well as Shadow Lake.<ref>Gazetteer of Lamoille and Orleans Counties, VT.; 1883-1884, Compiled and Published by Hamilton Child; May 1887</ref> Shadow Lake was first called Chambers Pond, then Stone Pond about 1822. In 1922 it was given its current name. The Abenaki had called it Pekdabowk, or Smoke Pond.<ref name=c170201/>
