About this map

The northern reaches of New Hampshire's North Country are characterized here by a network of rural schools and mountain passes, surveyed in 1930. The community of Colebrook serves as a local hub, with its nearby State Fish Hatchery and the Mohawk River flowing through the valley. Educational life is anchored by numerous neighborhood schoolhouses such as Piper Hill Sch, Brackett Sch, and the uniquely named Grand Vision Sch, while spiritual life centered on the East Colebrook Ch and East Columbia Ch.

Dramatic topography defines the eastern half of the map at Dixville Notch, where Lake Gloriette sits below the peaks of Table Rock and Dixville Peak. Further north, the landscape transitions into the wilderness of the Dead Diamond River drainage and the camps around Diamond Pond. The prevalence of small, family-named landmarks like Ladd Pd and Matthews Pd indicates a landscape deeply shaped by timber interests and local subsistence.
