1956 Map of Guildhall

About this map

Brunswick and Maidstone define the rural character of this Upper Connecticut River Valley landscape during the mid-1950s. The river itself serves as the jagged boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire, its oxbows winding through a valley floor populated by small settlements like Stratford, Maidstone, and Guildhall. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into the granitic uplands of the Maidstone State Forest, where Maidstone Lake and numerous smaller basins like South America Pond reflect the region's glacial history and heavy timber cover.
