About this map

The Connecticut River forms a major geographic boundary in this Northeast Kingdom landscape, marking the border between Vermont and New Hampshire. The map reveals the impact of the Moore Reservoir, which dominates the southern edge of the quadrangle. Inland, the Maine Central railroad tracks follow the valley of the Moose River, connecting the small settlements of North Concord and Miles Pond.

Genealogists and local historians will find several family-named landmarks and rural points of interest, such as Goudreault Hill and Ralston Corner. The presence of Graves Cem and Overlook Cem provides specific locations for historical research. The transition from industrial transport—evidenced by the Sandpit and railroad—to recreational use is seen in the Boat Ramp at Shadow Lake and the Roadside Park near the mountain slopes. This 1960s survey, inspected in the early 1980s, preserves the mid-century footprint of these hill towns before modern development shifted the character of the region.
