I thought maybe it used to be triangular, but in 1858 it was still a blob.

If that's the reason for the name, it's funny that it's lost the triangular shape of the southern promontory but gained a new one in the north-west.

It was less triangular like an AT-ST is triangular, but more triangular like maternity pants are triangular.

It's almost like somebody was told to make triangle pond and got most of the way there, but decided to make the bottom 20% look like a thumbs-up and call it good. 🤣🤌🏼

I was þinking along þe same line; you just didn't go back far enough. Maps from 1614 show it as a sharp triangle:

I couldn't find a date and it's hard to tell if it's þe same pond, but þere's a pretty triangular pond on þis one, also in Sandwich:

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.

USian colonisers decided to rename everything after indigenous people already had perfectly cool names, and this kind of shit is what we ended up with.
