About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the winding boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire in this recent survey, anchoring the agricultural and residential corridors of Canaan and West Stewartstown. The landscape is defined by significant elevation changes, from the dominant peak of Monadnock Mtn to the surrounding heights of Canaan Hill, Kemp Hill, and Death Hill. These uplands are drained by an intricate network of waters including Willard Stream, Bunnell Brook, and Schoolhouse Brook, which carve through the timbered terrain.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across both sides of the river, ranging from the Old Canaan Hill Cem and Piper Hill Cem in the north to Saint Brendans Cem near Colebrook in the south. The proximity of the South Canaan Church and its associated South Canaan Church Cem reflects the enduring community centers of the Upper Connecticut River Valley. The presence of Gifford Field and the Monadnock Mountain Trl highlights the modern intersection of aviation and outdoor recreation in this border region.
