1953 Map of Averill

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Connecticut River defines the border between Vermont and New Hampshire in this mid-century survey, a landscape where timber and international borders shape the settlement pattern. At the northern edge, Beecher Falls and Canaan sit at the gateway to Canada, while the Maine Central railroad tracks the river's path south toward North Stratford. The interior of the Essex County wilderness is dominated by isolated peaks like Monadnock Mountain and the deep waters of Averill Lake and Little Averill Lake. A network of logging camps, such as Camp No 16 and Camp No 5, are scattered throughout the Nulhegan River and Paul Stream basins, reflecting the era's active forest economy. Local life is anchored by small rural institutions, including the St Thomas Ch near the border and several country schools like the South Columbia Sch.
