About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the primary boundary and lifeline between New Hampshire and Vermont in this mid-1980s topographical study. The river valley facilitates major transit corridors including U.S. 3 and the Canadian National RR, connecting industrial and agricultural hubs like Groveton and Colebrook. To the east, the sprawling White Mountain National Forest and Nash Stream State Forest dominate the terrain, while the western side features Vermont’s Maidstone Lake and the Victory State Forest.

This era shows the region as a nexus of timber and water resources, with the Androscoggin River flowing through Errol toward Umbagog Lake on the Maine border. Smaller settlements like North Stratford, Guildhall, and West Milan are mapped alongside the Maine Central RR tracks, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the North Country before modern shifts in the regional rail and logging economies.
