About this map

The Connecticut River forms the eastern boundary of this mid-1980s landscape, winding through a region where agricultural meadows meet the steep terrain of the Green Mountains' eastern edge. The West River carves a deep valley through the center of the sheet, connecting settlements like West Dummerston and Williamsville Station. Local history is deeply etched into the topography at Newfane Hill, where the Newfane Hill Cem sits atop a prominence overlooking the modern village of Newfane.

Transport patterns are defined by the corridor of the Boston and Maine railroad following the Connecticut River, passing Putney Station. The map records several legacy burial grounds, including the Old North Burying Ground and Goodrich Cem, which alongside landmarks like the Dummerston Hill Sch provide vital geographic markers for genealogists. Low-lying areas such as Canoe Meadow and Kathan Meadows offer a clear view of the floodplains that have historically supported the valley's farming economy.
