About this map

The Swift River valley is captured here in the late 19th century, depicting a landscape that would later be fundamentally altered. This topography focuses on the interconnected village economies of Enfield, Greenwich, and Prescott, showing a network of rural settlements, small-scale farming, and river-side industry. The Swift River and its various tributaries, including the Swift River East Branch and Swift River West Branch, dominate the central terrain, providing the natural infrastructure for local mills and transit.
