1989 Map of Pittsburg

About this map

The Connecticut River forms a major geographic artery through this borderland, where the boundaries of New Hampshire, Vermont, and Quebec converge. The settlement of Pittsburg sits near the headwaters, anchored by the engineering of the Earth Dam and Concrete Dam that contain Lake Francis. This late-1980s landscape is defined by its water systems, including the long reach of Halls Stream marking the international border and the winding path of Indian Stream. Local family and place names like Shatney Mountain, Young Hill, and Ad Chase Brook reflect the area's deep-rooted topographical history. In the south, the village of Beecher Falls and the neighboring Stewartstown bridge the gap between New Hampshire and Vermont, while the north is punctuated by the presence of a Covered Bridge and the remote peaks of Tabor Notch.
