1996 Map of Lyme

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central artery for this Upper Valley landscape, dividing the settlements of Lyme and East Thetford along the New Hampshire and Vermont border. In the late twentieth century, the area maintained a distinct educational and social character, anchored by the historic Thetford Academy and the Barnes Sch. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like High Peak and Ely Mountain, while local infrastructure includes a Covered Bridge and a Drive-in Theater near the northern boundary. Transportation and community life follow the river's path, with clusters at Thetford Hill and Pompanoosuc at the confluence with the Ompompanoosuc River. Genealogists can find several burial grounds, including Highland Cemetery and the Wilmot Cem, situated near Wilmot Mountain.
