1982 Map of Lancaster

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the winding border between New Hampshire and Vermont in this 1982 survey, defining the industrial and social character of the valley. To the east, Lancaster stands as a significant hub near the confluence of the Israel River, while to the south, the village of Whitefield marks the southern limit of the study. The landscape is dotted with small settlements like Grange, Riverton, and South Lunenburg, connected by the historical tracks of the Maine Central Railroad and the Boston and Maine Railroad. High ground is anchored by Prospect Mtn within Weeks State Park, where a Lookout Tower overlooks the river valley. The map reveals the era's educational and religious landscape through landmarks like the White Mountains Regional High Sch and St Matthews Ch, alongside numerous family-named hills and brooks that reflect the region's deep-rooted rural history.
