About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the winding boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire in this mid-1930s survey, anchoring a landscape defined by its industrial and agricultural vitality. The Frank D. Comerford Hydro-Electric Plant stands as a major landmark along the river's path, while the intersection of the Maine Central Railroad and the Boston and Maine Railroad near Littleton highlights the region's importance as a transportation hub.

Rural life is intricately mapped through a dense network of localized institutions, including the North Monroe Ch and numerous district schoolhouses like South Kirby Sch and Slate Ledge Sch. The extraction economy is evidenced by the Kirby Mtn Quarries in the north. From the village of Lower Waterford to the heights of Mt Pisgah, the map details a settled terrain where family names are etched into the hills and brooks of the Upper Connecticut River Valley.
