About this map

The northernmost reaches of the Connecticut River define this frontier landscape where New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and Quebec converge. The drainage system is anchored by the remarkable chain of Connecticut Lakes, from the high Fourth Connecticut Lake near the international boundary down to the expansive waters of Lake Francis. In this corner of Coos County, the settlement of Pittsburg serves as a hub for a region dominated by timber interests and remote townships like Parmachenee and Lynchtown.

Border crossings and river confluences characterize the western edge, where Beecher Falls and Stewartstown sit along the winding water. The map traces the rugged divide of the Canada-United States border through peaks such as Salmon Mtn and Saddle Hill, illustrating the transition from the settled valleys of the south to the unorganized territories and wildlife management areas of the north woods.
