About this map

The Ottauquechee River and Connecticut River define this corner of the Vermont and New Hampshire border, where industrial water power and agricultural valleys meet. At the northern end, the North Hartland Reservoir and North Hartland Dam dominate the landscape near North Hartland, while the Lebanon Municipal Airport sits on the plateau to the east. The map reveals a dense network of local history, particularly in the village of Meriden, home to the Kimball Union Academy and its associated Athletic Field.

Tracing the smaller waterways like Bloods Brook and Blow-me-down Brook uncovers numerous smaller settlements and family landmarks. From the Meeting House in Plainfield to the curiously named Squag City and Hell Hollow, the map is a detailed record of late-20th-century land use. Genealogists will find many burial sites throughout the townships, including the Westgate-Peterson Cem and Gilkey Cem, providing a clear view of the area's ancestral geography.
