About this map

Canaan and Beecher Falls anchor the northern reaches of this borderland survey, where the international boundary meets the upper reaches of the Connecticut River. The landscape is dominated by a systematic network of logging camps, numbered from Camp No 3 to Camp No 20, which speak to the industrial timber operations managed across Lewis, Lemington, and Bloomfield during the mid-20th century. This resource extraction is supported by a infrastructure of splash dams and transport routes, including Peanut Dam, Brooks Dam, and the Maine Central railroad line.

Local life along the river is documented through sites like the Oblate Fathers Novitiate and the South Columbia Sch, while the remote interior is defined by notable elevations such as Monadnock Mountain and Averill Mtn. The presence of the County Farm and Fish Hatchery near West Stewartstown illustrates the region's diverse land use, blending state-managed resources with private forestry and small riverine settlements.
