2015 Map of North Hartland

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the dividing line between Vermont and New Hampshire in this 2015 study, carving a valley between the hills of Windsor, Grafton, and Sullivan Counties. The landscape is dotted with small settlements like Russtown, North Hartland, and Meriden, many of which developed around the water power of local tributaries such as Bloods Brook and Blow-me-down Brook. Cultural preservation is evident at the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site and the historic Willard Covered Bridge. This era shows a mix of rural preservation and modern infrastructure, from the Lebanon Municipal Airport in the north to numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Gilkey Cemeteries and Plainfield Cem. The terrain is characterized by named heights such as Governors Hill and Farnum Hill, which overlook the winding roads and stream valleys that defined the region's early growth.
