About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the focal point of this 1980s landscape, defining the state boundary between Springfield, Vermont, and the surrounding New Hampshire townships of Charlestown and Claremont. The industrial and transport history of the Upper Valley is evident in the convergence of the Boston and Maine RR and the Claremont and Concord RR near Springfield Junction. Settlements like Weathersfield Bow and North Charlestown are depicted alongside local landmarks such as Goulds Mill and the Claremont Airport.

Upland terrain is marked by numerous family-named peaks, including Skitchewaug Mountain and Rattlesnake Hill. Smaller hamlets like Quaker City and West Unity dot the eastern portion of the survey, while civic life is captured through the location of the Farwell Sch, Bow Ch, and Oak Hill Cem. This record of the mid-1980s illustrates the region's balance of manufacturing centers and conserved lands like the Hubbard Hill State Forest.
