About this map

The Missisquoi River and Trout River define the local geography of this Franklin County landscape, where water power and river crossings shaped the development of early settlements. In the northern reaches, the town of Richford sits at the confluence of the Missisquoi and N Branch, while further south, the Trout River winds past several historic wooden structures including the Hopkins Covered Bridge, Longley Covered Bridge, and Comstock Covered Bridge.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, ranging from the Richford Center Cem and Troy Street Cem in the north to the Village Cem and Old Cem near Montgomery. Smaller hamlets like East Berkshire, Samsonville, and South Richford are well-preserved, showing the transition from valley floor agriculture to the higher elevations of Hardwood Hill and the Green Mountains.
