About this map

The Ashuelot River flows westward through the southern portion of this landscape, meeting the Connecticut River at the border between New Hampshire and Vermont. This late-twentieth-century survey illustrates the corridor of the Vermont Central RR as it follows the river valley through Hinsdale and on toward Dole Junction. The northern half of the region is dominated by the Pisgah Mountain Range, much of which is protected within Pisgah State Park.

Detailed hydrology throughout the highlands includes Pisgah Reservoir, Kilburn Pond, and the curiously named Dogwood Swamp. Settlement patterns are concentrated along the riverbanks, where Hinsdale and Winchester serve as primary hubs. Local historical landmarks such as St Josephs Ch and several family-named summits like Hubbard Hill and Porter Hill provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of Cheshire County.
