About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the dividing line between Vermont and New Hampshire on this mid-2010s map, anchoring a landscape where river geography and transport routes converge. The settlement of Springfield stands near the confluence of the Black River and Spencer Brook, while the rail corridor of the New Hampshire Vermont railroad parallels the river's eastern bank through Claremont Junction and North Charlestown. This document captures the localized infrastructure of the region, from the Springfield Reservoir in the west to the industrial vestiges at Goulds Mill.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family and historical burial sites including Upham-Aldrich Cem, Hubbard Cem, and the Summer Hill Cem near the Springfield town center. Several islands punctuate the river’s course, such as Jarvis Island, Walcott Island, and Glidden Island, marking traditional river navigation points. The map further identifies distinct rural localities like Hardscrabble Corner and peaks such as Skitchewaug Mtn and Rattlesnake Hill, providing a detailed look at the borderland's varied topography.
