About this map

The White River and its tributaries carve through the upland landscape of the Orange and Windsor county border, anchoring the settlement of Sharon along the riverbanks. The valley floor features the landmark Howe Covered Bridge near the First Branch White River, a testament to the region's historic transportation engineering. Higher elevations are defined by prominent peaks such as Baxter Mtn, Tyler Mtn, and Kibling Hill, while smaller bodies of water like Tunbridge Trout Pond and Crescent Lake dot the wooded hillsides.

Local history is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Mount Pleasant Cem, Dewey Cem, and Pine Hill Cem. These sites, along with the northern settlement of Strafford, indicate a long-standing rural community structure. The map details an intricate network of local roads such as the Justin Morrill Memorial Hwy and Rock Bottom Rd, tracing the paths between early homesteads and cemeteries.
