About this map

The Millers River carves a significant path through this Franklin County landscape, shaping the industrial and settlement patterns of villages like Erving, Farley, and Grout Corner. The river valley is flanked by prominent heights including Rattlesnake Mountain and Bear Mountain, while the western edge is defined by the Connecticut River and the iconic French King Bridge. This 2012 representation captures a region where steep terrain has historically funneled transportation and community growth into narrow corridors along the water.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a network of small burial grounds, such as Field Cem in the north and Gardner Cem near Locks Village. These sites, along with smaller settlements like South Wendell and Northfield Farms, provide essential points of reference for tracing family roots. The map also details numerous water bodies like Ruggles Pond and Wickett Pond, alongside the drainage of W Br Swift River, illustrating the complex hydrology that supported the area's early mills and farmsteads.
