1929 Map of Averill

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the dominant boundary and lifeline of this Northeast Kingdom landscape, separating Vermont and New Hampshire during an era of heavy timber and rail activity. In the 1920s, the region was characterized by numerous logging operations, evidenced by a dense concentration of numbering camps such as Camp No 20 and Camp No 16 scattered across the township of Averill. The local economy relied on the river and its tributaries, where structures like Conway Dam and Buzzell Dam managed water for the logging industry. Transport for both timber and passengers was facilitated by the Maine Central Railroad and the Grand Trunk Railway, which linked riverfront settlements like North Stratford and Beecher Falls. Smaller communities and rural landmarks, including St Joseph Sch and the Alice Hunt Cemetery, provide essential anchor points for genealogical research in this sparsely populated borderland.
