About this map

Kirby Mtn Quarries anchor the northern hills of this landscape, reflecting the region's industrial heritage at the start of the 1930s. The area is defined by the winding course of the Moose River and the Connecticut River, which forms the border between Vermont and New Hampshire. This survey documents a high density of rural schoolhouses, from Pierce Mill Sch on the western edge to the Texas Sch in the east, providing a detailed spatial record for genealogists tracing family roots in Caledonia Co and Essex Co.

Transportation networks of the era are clearly delineated, featuring the Maine Central Railroad and the Canadian Pacific Railway as they cut through the terrain near Miles Pond. Small settlements like Concord Corner and Lower Waterford are shown in their early twentieth-century layouts, connected by what was then U S Highway 2. Numerous named peaks like Fairbanks Mtn and Bible Hill rise above the many brooks feeding into the major river systems.
