1920 Map of Guildhall

About this map

The Connecticut River carves a winding path through this 1920 military survey, defining the state boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire. This map is particularly useful for genealogists because it identifies numerous rural crossroads such as Hanks Corner, Lathe Corner, and Hapgood Corner, along with the critical Central P.O. at Guildhall. The region's timber and transportation economy is evident in the dense network of rails, including the Grand Trunk R.R., Maine Central R.R., and the Boston and Maine R.R., which converge at junctions like Groveton Jc. and Coos Jc. Beyond the river valley, the terrain rises into the highlands surrounding Maidstone Lake and the peaks of Burnside Mt. and Lightning Mt., showing the sparsely settled town lands of Ferdinand and Brunswick.
