1953 Map of Averill

About this map

Canaan and Beecher Falls anchor the northern reaches of this New England borderland, where the Connecticut River serves as the dividing line between Vermont and New Hampshire. The landscape is defined by its industrial and logging heritage, marked by an extensive network of numbering logging camps like Camp No 16 and Camp No 3 scattered across the interior. Along the river corridor, the Maine Central and Grand Trunk River railroads trace the valley floor, connecting riverside settlements like Bloomfield and North Stratford. Local institutional history is visible in features such as the County Farm and Fish Hatchery near West Stewartstown. Significant peaks including Monadnock Mountain and Averill Mtn rise above the timbered tracts and glacial waters of Averill Lake and Wallace Pond, the latter of which straddles the international boundary with Canada.
