About this map

Lyme and the surrounding river valley communities along the Connecticut River define this landscape on the border of New Hampshire and Vermont. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Wilmot Mtn and High Peak, which hem in the settlements of East Thetford and Thetford Hill. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it winds across Plot Hill and near Lyme Center.

For local historians, the abundance of small burial grounds including Old Lyme Cem, The Glebe Cem, and Knox Cem provide vital links to the area's early family lineages. The mapping shows a distinct pattern of valley floor agriculture and river-crossing points, such as North Thetford, contrasted against the steeper, wooded heights of Kenyon Hill and Acorn Hill. The inclusion of the Thetford Academy Cross Country Trl and various woodland paths like the Waterfall Trl illustrates the modern shift toward recreational land use in these traditional hill towns.
