About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the winding boundary between New Hampshire and Vermont in this borderland survey. Along its banks, the community of West Stewartstown is visible near the top of the sheet, while the significant elevation of Monadnock Mtn dominates the central topography. This area is characterized by numerous small drainage systems, including Willard Stream, Capon Brook, and Keyer Brook, which carve through a landscape of high ridges like Van Dyke Mtn and Todd Hill.

For those researching family history, this map is exceptionally detailed in its documentation of rural burial sites. It identifies numerous locations such as Old Canaan Hill Cem, Canaan Village Cem, and the uniquely named Morrison-Schoolhouse Cem. The distribution of these cemeteries alongside landmarks like South Canaan Church Cem and Gifford Field reveals the dispersed nature of early settlements and the long-standing community centers established across the hills and river valleys.
