2018 Map of Lyme

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the primary artery and state boundary dividing the Vermont and New Hampshire landscapes documented here. On the Vermont side, the topography is defined by significant elevations such as High Peak and Houghton Hill, with settlements clustered at Thetford Center and Thetford Hill. This area is particularly rich in family and community history, evidenced by a high density of burial grounds including Evergreen Rest Cem, Pleasant Ridge Cem, and The Glebe Cem. Crossing the river at the Edgell Bridge, the terrain rises into the hills of Grafton County, New Hampshire, where Lyme and Lyme Center anchor the local geography. The map traces the winding paths of Grant Brook and Hewes Brook as they descend from peaks like Moose Mtn and Plot Hill, illustrating a typical New England pattern of upland farms and valley-bottom communities.
