About this map

The Connecticut River and Millers River carve through this landscape of high ridges and state-managed woodlands in the mid-1930s. The convergence of the Boston and Maine Railroad and other rail lines at Millers Falls highlights the area's role as a regional transportation hub, while the Mohawk Trail and French King Road trace historic terrestrial routes through the valley.

Settlement patterns are deeply rooted in family history, evidenced by numerous small burying grounds like Holton Cem and Gardner Cem. The map documents a rural society built around small centers such as Locke Village, Wendell, and the vanished site of Tyler City. Public infrastructure is represented by localized institutions including the Northfield Farms Sch and Locke Sch, alongside the preserved tracts of Erving State Forest and Wendell State Forest.
