1929 Map of Averill

About this map

Monadnock Mountain dominates the rugged terrain of Essex County, where the Connecticut River forms the boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire. This landscape is defined by the heavy logging industry of the early 20th century, evidenced by a series of dams including Buzzell Dam, Peanut Dam, and Stone Dam along the various branches of the Nulhegan River. The region was serviced by the Maine Central RR, which follows the river valley through settlements like Beecher Falls and North Stratford. Local education and community life are marked by numerous rural schoolhouses such as Blodgett Sch and South Columbia Sch, alongside landmarks like the Line House on the international border with Canada. Further inland, the high country around Averill Lake and Little Averill Lake remains largely undeveloped, save for the legacy of a now abandoned lumber rail line.
