About this map

The Connecticut River and Millers River converge at the industrial and transport hub of Millers Falls, where the Vermont Central and Boston and Maine railroads define the valley floor. This 1961 revision of earlier 1930s fieldwork documents a landscape of dense state forests and steep upland terrain, where small settlements like Erving, Farley, and Stoneville cling to the riverbanks along the historic Mohawk Trail.

Genealogists can find several family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, including Holton Cem and Gardner Cem. The map illustrates the region's mid-century transition as forestry and recreation took precedence, evidenced by the extensive bounds of Erving State Forest and Wendell State Forest. In the south, the village of North Leverett sits near Sawmill River, while the Northwest Sch remains a focal point for the highland community of Wendell.
