About this map

Connecticut River serves as the central artery for this 1931 survey, dividing the Vermont towns of Bradford, Fairlee, and Thetford from the New Hampshire communities of Piermont, Orford, and Lyme. The Boston and Maine Railroad tracks follow the river's western bank, connecting small depots and settlements like Piermont Sta and Northboro Sta. This transit corridor supported a network of rural schools, including Kidderhood Sch and Blood Brook Sch, which are scattered throughout the hills.

Outdoor recreation and topography define the eastern heights, where the Appalachian Trail winds past Mt Cube and its associated Mt Cube Sch. The presence of the Dartmouth Outing Club Camp near Mt Cube and the Holts Ledge Camp further south indicates the region's developing identity as a hiking destination. Land use is varied, from the industrial Upper Baker Pit to the spiritual center at South Bradford Ch, offering a detailed view of the Upper Valley's social and economic structure.
