About this map

Colebrook serves as the primary hub in this Coos County highland, where the Maine Central railroad corridor meets the Mohawk River. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic passage at Dixville Notch, flanked by Table Rock and the waters of Lake Gloriette. This 1930s survey reveals a dense network of upland school districts and small settlements such as Kidderville and Stewartstown Hollow, reflecting a populated rural economy before the centralization of the mid-twentieth century.

Industry and conservation efforts are evidenced by the State Fish Hatchery and several remote timber camps like Old Ramsey Camp and Hurlbert Camp. Genealogy researchers will find numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including the Grand Vision Sch and East Colebrook Ch. The drainage patterns of the Dead Diamond River and Simms Stream define the wilderness character of the eastern half of the quadrangle, punctuated by high points like Dixville Peak and Mt Kelsey.
