About this map

Colebrook and Stewartstown Hollow anchor this survey of the New Hampshire and Vermont borderlands in the late 1980s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Mohawk River and its various tributaries, including the West Branch Mohawk River and Bishop Brook. The map reveals a rural economy and infrastructure integrated with the terrain, featuring a Fish Hatchery, multiple Gravel Pits, and a Golf Course on the outskirts of Colebrook.

Natural landmarks like Lovering Mountain, Mudget Mountain, and Dearth Hill provide significant topographic relief, while low-lying areas are characterized by features such as Hurlbert Swamp and Bear Rock Bog. The presence of Beaver Brook Falls and numerous small ponds like Ladd Pond and Matthews Pond suggests a well-watered region where small-scale settlement followed the narrow valleys and upland clearings.
