About this map

Colebrook and the surrounding townships in northern New Hampshire appear here in a landscape of high ridges and rural valley settlements. The local economy and community life in the early 1930s are clearly marked by an extensive network of schoolhouses, including the Piper Hill Sch, Whittemore Sch, and Grand Vision Sch. These small district schools, along with sites like the East Columbia Ch, highlight the family-centric settlement patterns before the consolidation of rural education.

Industry and recreation intersect near the Mohawk River, where the State Fish Hatchery stands east of Kidderville. Further into the interior, named camps like Felton Camp and Ramsay Camp suggest the importance of the region's timber and outdoor life. Distinctive landmarks such as Table Rock and The Flume overlook Dixville Notch Lake, documenting the early preservation of these geological features for public interest.
