Good finds!

Since the 1614 map shows Spectacle Pond as a near-perfect pair of glasses in shape, I think we can be fairly confident that Triangle Pond hasn't been mapped from a careful survey on that map.

    Oh, for sure. Þe oþer similar period map is less stylized, þough, and it also shows a triangle.

    Perhaps surveys weren't accurate and naming followed perception, but it appears þe lake has been changing over time and I believe it's entirely possible it was more triangular when it was named.
