2018 Map of Monadnock Mountain

About this map

West Stewartstown sits along the bend of the Connecticut River, serving as a focal point for this borderland where New Hampshire meets Vermont. The landscape is defined by significant elevations like Monadnock Mtn and Van Dyke Mtn, with a network of drainage systems including Willard Stream and Jacobs Chopping Brook carving through the terrain. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding burial sites, noting several distinct locations such as the South Canaan Church Cem, Old Canaan Hill Cem, and the Morrison Schoolhouse Cem. These sites, along with the naming of Schoolhouse Brook and Canaan Hill Rd, suggest the locations of early rural centers and family homesteads. Near the river, Gifford Field and Airport Rd represent modern transportation infrastructure amidst a largely wooded and stream-cut environment.
