About this map

Spofford Lake and the Connecticut River define the local topography of this New Hampshire and Vermont borderland. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and protected woodlands, including Pisgah State Park and Hyland Hill State Forest. In the late 1990s, the area retains a mixture of rural village centers and preserved natural landmarks, such as Chesterfield Gorge State Park and the isolated Pierces Island State Park within the lake.

Institutional and community landmarks like the St Margaret Mary Ch in Chesterfield and the Pioneer Sch near East Westmoreland anchor the local settlements. The survey also traces the path of many namesake thoroughfares, including Poocham Road and Butterfield Hill Road, reflecting the area's agricultural and timber history. In the northwest, East Putney Station sits along the river, marking the historic transport connection between the towns of Putney and Westmoreland.
