About this map

Dartmouth College anchors the east bank of the Connecticut River in this survey, showcasing the educational and institutional core of Hanover. Across the water, Norwich and the small settlement at Lewiston reflect the distinct Vermont-side development, connected by rail and river proximity. The landscape is a complex network of academic grounds, including Memorial Field and the Observatory, alongside industrial and transportation infrastructure like the Wilder Dam and the Boston and Maine Railroad.

Southward, the confluence of the White River and the Connecticut defines the bustling transit hub at White River Junction. This area is dense with civic history, featuring the VA Hospital, the Hartford Memorial School, and several cemeteries including Mt Calvary Cem and Christian Street Cem. The inclusion of the Appalachian Trail and various woods roads like Old New Boston Road provides a view of the recreational and rural character surrounding the developed river valley.
