About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the focal point for this mid-1980s survey, marking the state boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire. On the western bank, Bellows Falls and North Walpole sit at a bend in the river, where the Boston and Maine and Central Vermont railroads intersect. The terrain rises sharply east of the river into the high ridges of Fall Mountain and Mt Kilburn.

Industry and education are reflected in the landscape through the Fall Mountain Regional High Sch and an Abandoned Mine near Beryl Mtn. Smaller settlements such as Drewsville, South Acworth, and the unusually named Snumshire are connected by a network of rural roads. Recreational and conservation areas are established at Connecticut River State Park and the Bellows Falls Village Forest, while family-named landmarks like Walker Hill and Grout Hill define the interior uplands.
