1961 Map of Millers Falls

About this map

The Connecticut River and Millers River define the industrial and geographic character of this Franklin County landscape. At the confluence, the settlement of Millers Falls serves as a transportation hub where the Central Vermont and Boston and Maine railroads meet. The map reveals a transition from these riverside industrial centers to the elevated terrain of the Erving State Forest and Wendell State Forest, which cover vast portions of the eastern and northern territory. Genealogists can locate legacy sites such as Holton Cem, Dry Hill Cem, and the small settlement at Locks Village near Lake Wyola. The presence of Rose Ledge and Rattlesnake Mtn highlights the steep, wooded topography that separated colonial-era farmsteads like Northfield Farms from the mill towns in the valley below.
