Abstract

This article focuses on the location of writer Henry David Thoreau's housesite near Walden Pond, in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. The wild haunts of Thoreau in Walden Woods and elsewhere in the Concord region have indeed haunted the imagination and wanderlust of his followers and nature lovers at large in Concord and beyond. Except for a scroll-like map of the Sudbury and Concord Rivers, a plain survey of Walden Pond proper, or a sketch of the Andromeda Ponds area, Thoreau did not draft maps for the hundreds of places that he named and celebrated in his writings.
