1989 Map of Monadnock Mountain

About this map

Monadnock Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this Vermont and New Hampshire border region, where the Connecticut River carves a winding path between Essex Co and Coos Co. This late-twentieth-century study documents the international boundary between Canada and the United States, marked by numerous survey monuments such as Mon 87. The river acts as a central artery for small-town life, connecting Beecher Falls and West Stewartstown in the north to the larger settlement of Colebrook downstream. Local geography is defined by family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, including Harriman Hill, the Waste Treatment Plant, and a Gravel Pit near Columbia. Tributaries like Leach Creek and Willard Stream feed into the main river valley, while higher elevations are punctuated by peaks like Van Dyke Mountain and the swampy depressions of Meacham Swamp.
