About this map

Piermont and Orfordville sit at the heart of this mid-1990s survey, illustrating the rural character of the upper Connecticut River valley. The map reveals a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the river lowlands at Lower Plain to the prominent peaks of Cottonstone Mountain and Mount Cube. This area serves as a key corridor for both regional transit and outdoor recreation, with the B & M RR following the riverbank while the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern uplands near the White Mountain National Forest boundary.

Genealogists will find notable detail in the distribution of family-centered landmarks and local institutions. Three distinct burial sites, including Cedar Grove Cemetery and Dame Hill Cemetery, are recorded alongside the Boynton Sch and several remote landmarks like Camp Weston. The mapping of local roads such as Grimes Hill Road and Dame Hill Road provides a clear view of the historical settlement patterns that persisted into the late 20th century.
