About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central artery and state boundary in this detailed 1990s look at the Upper Valley. Dominating the eastern shore is the sprawling campus of Dartmouth College in Hanover, while the western bank features the hillside settlements of Norwich and Wilder. The landscape is a mix of academic tradition, industrial history, and preservation, with the Appalachian Scenic Trail winding through the Green Mountain National Forest to the west and the White Mountain National Forest to the east.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, from the complex rail and road hubs at White River Junction and West Lebanon to the Lebanon Municipal Airport in the south. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds like Hillside Cemetery and Pine Knolls Cemetery, while the confluence of the White River and Mascoma River into the Connecticut underscores the importance of these waterways to the region's development.
