2018 Map of Mount Blue

About this map

Mt Blue and Spruce Mtn dominate the high ground of this Franklin County landscape, where the terrain transitions from steep ridges to the lower valleys of Temple Intervale and Wilton Intervale. The settlement at Hildreths Mill is situated along the upper reaches of Wilson Stream, highlighting the historical importance of water power in this upland region. Modern topographic data reveals a complex network of brooks, including Alder Brook and Temple Brook, that drain the surrounding summits like Kinneys Head and Saddleback Mtn. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several burial sites, such as the Intervale Cem and Adams Richardson Cem, which provide points of connection to the families who established farms and small industries along Varnum Pond and the surrounding hillsides.
