About this map

The Connecticut River forms the sinuous spine of this early 1970s survey, marking the border between Newbury, Vermont, and Haverhill, New Hampshire. The landscape is defined by its wide floodplains and dramatic river loops, most notably at The Oxbow and Horse Meadow. Transportation patterns are dictated by the waterway, with the Boston and Maine Railroad and River Road paralleling the banks to serve riverfront settlements.

Local history is preserved in a network of rural burial grounds, including Horse Meadow Cem and the Oxbow Cem, while the Bedell Covered Bridge stands as a landmark crossing near Haverhill. Upland areas like Pulaski Mtn and Leighton Hill rise above the valley, dotted with smaller hamlets such as Peach Four Corners and West Newbury. The presence of Dean Memorial Airport and Oxbow High Sch reflects the mid-century development of these river valley communities.
