1982 Map of Lancaster

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the winding border between New Hampshire and Vermont in this study of the upper valley. On the eastern banks, Lancaster stands as a primary hub, while the Vermont side is anchored by Lunenburg and the smaller settlement of South Lunenburg. This 1980s landscape shows the transition from industrial reliance on the Maine Central Railroad and Boston and Maine Railroad toward recreational use, centered around Weeks State Park and Prospect Mtn. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding burial grounds, marking sites like Riverside Cem near the river and Baptist Hill Cem further west. Notable infrastructure includes the White Mountains Regional High Sch and a preserved Covered Bridge crossing the river, documenting the essential connections between these riverfront communities.
