About this map

Halls Stream and the Connecticut River define this international borderland, where the northernmost reaches of New Hampshire meet Quebec and Vermont. This late-twentieth-century landscape is dominated by the sprawling waters of Lake Francis, held by an earth dam, and the smaller Moose Pond and Back Lake Brook systems. The settlement pattern remains concentrated near the river junctions, with Pittsburg serving as a central hub just north of the concrete dam.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the township of Clarksville and the village of Beecher Falls at the Vermont line. The map identifies specific infrastructure like a covered bridge over the Connecticut River and several industrial gravel pits. Mountainous terrain such as Shatney Mountain and Comstock Hill rise between the winding paths of Indian Stream and Ad Chase Brook, illustrating the complex drainage of the Great North Woods.
