About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the focal point of this landscape, defining the boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire as it winds past Burnaps Island. Along the western bank, the Central Vermont RR tracks parallel the water, connecting settlements like North Hartland (Evarts Sta) and Russtown. Significant 20th-century engineering is evident at the North Hartland Dam on the Ottauquechee River, which created a controlled inundation area affecting the surrounding hills.

To the east in New Hampshire, the area around Meriden is anchored by the Kimball Union Academy and its associated Athletic Field. The township is dotted with family-named landmarks and local burial grounds like Moulton-Yard Cem and Raynis-Ford Cem. Rural industries are scattered across the terrain, with several Gravel Pits and Sand Pits appearing near Plainfield, while the southern reaches include the unique enclave of Squag City.
