About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the primary artery through this Upper Valley landscape, delineating the state border between New Hampshire and Vermont. Along the western bank, a cluster of Vermont settlements including North Thetford, Thetford Center, and East Thetford illustrate a traditional New England village pattern, while Pompanoosuc sits at the southern confluence near the Ompompanoosuc River. On the New Hampshire side, the town of Lyme is the central hub, surrounded by prominent peaks such as Lyme Hill, Plot Hill, and the northern reaches of Moose Mtn.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, from the Pleasant Ridge Cem near the river to the more isolated Knox Cem and Wilmot Cem. The terrain is characterized by a series of high points and water bodies, notably Post Pond and Childs Pond, with historical landmarks like the Edgell Bridge marking the river crossing. The survey also identifies the local character of The Glebe, a traditional land use designation preserved alongside the upland elevations of High Peak and Houghton Hill.
