2021 Map of Newbury

About this map

The Connecticut River winds through this valley along the border of Vermont and New Hampshire, defining the fertile lowlands of Horse Meadow and the distinct loop known as The Oxbow. This river-oriented landscape supports a series of historic riverside settlements, including Newbury, South Newbury, and Haverhill. The terrain rises sharply away from the water to peaks like Pulaski Mtn and Town Farm Hill, while several small water bodies such as Halls Lake and The Fish Pond dot the higher elevations. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across both sides of the river, from the Ladd Street Cem to the West Newbury Cem. The presence of the Bedell-Covered Bridge and the cluster at Peach Four Corners highlights the enduring rural infrastructure that connects these farming communities across the state line.
