About this map

Bellows Falls serves as a focal point along the Connecticut River, where the industrial and transport history of the region is etched into the landscape. The Boston and Maine Railroad Tunnel and the First Connecticut River Bridge highlight the significance of this river crossing, while the town's layout reflects its role as a regional hub between Vermont and New Hampshire. To the west, the Rockingham area preserves local heritage with the Rockingham Meeting House Cem and the Worrall Covered Bridge, signaling the long-standing community centers of Windham County.

The landscape is defined by its water features, from the broad Great Meadow to the narrow Saxtons River spanned by the Hall Covered Bridge. Historical footprints are visible in family-named landmarks like the Oliver Lovell Cem and the prominent Fall Mtn overlooking the valley. These features, along with settlements like South Charlestown and North Walpole, illustrate the dense network of valley floor villages and upland cemeteries that define this section of the Connecticut River Valley.
