1931 Map of Mt. Cube

About this map

The Connecticut River defines the border between New Hampshire and Vermont in this detailed survey, acting as the central axis for the valley's development. Following the eastern bank, the Boston and Maine Railroad connects riverfront settlements like Piermont, Orford, and North Thetford. This era shows a landscape where mountain education was highly localized, evidenced by numerous rural schools such as the Mt Cube Sch and Kidderhood Sch. Local recreation is anchored by the Dartmouth Outing Club Camp near the base of Mt Cube, while the western hills around Lake Morey and Fairlee Lake show a well-established network of upland farms and mountain notches. The infrastructure of the period is further highlighted by a prominent Transmission Line cutting across the Vermont side, while cemeteries like Mt Cube Cem provide vital touchstones for family historians and genealogists studying the Upper Valley.
