1933 Map of Mt. Cube

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central artery for this early 1930s landscape, dividing the riverfront towns of Orford and Lyme in New Hampshire from Fairlee and Thetford in Vermont. The valley’s reliance on the Boston and Maine Railroad is evident, with key stops at Piermont Sta and East Thetford connecting rural agricultural communities to regional markets. Higher elevations are marked by the presence of Dartmouth Outing Club Camp near the slopes of Mt Cube, reflecting the era's growing interest in collegiate outdoor recreation. Smaller, interior settlements like Orfordville and Quinttown remain centered around local institutions such as School No 3 and Dame Hill Cem, illustrating a settlement pattern that closely follows the narrow valleys of Jacobs Brook and the Wait River.
