About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the focal point of this 1970s landscape, marking the winding border between Vermont and New Hampshire. On the eastern bank, the village of Piermont sits near the confluence of Eastman Brook, while the Boston and Maine railroad tracks trace the western shore through Bradford and Lower Plain. The area is defined by its transition from the fertile river valley to the steep elevations of Cottonstone Mountain and Indian Pond Mountain.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the cluster of burial grounds, including Cedar Grove Cem, South Lawn Cem, and Dame Hill Cem. The southern portion of the sheet near Orfordville and Archertown reveals a landscape crisscrossed by rural paths and the Appalachian Trail, which skirts the eastern edge near Upper Baker Pond. Smaller landmarks like the Boynton Sch and the Landing Strip near the river highlight the era's blend of traditional rural infrastructure and modern transport.
