About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the primary boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire in this late-1990s survey, anchoring a landscape where industrial history meets protected woodlands. In Springfield, the Black River winds through the urban center near Hartness Park, passing sites like Goulds Mill and the local sewage infrastructure that supported the town's development. The map reveals a dense network of civic life, from the Union St Sch and High Sch to several outlying cemeteries including Eureka Cem and Crown Point Cem.

Transport and conservation are central themes, as seen in the Claremont & Concord RR tracks following the river valley through Claremont Junction. Significant land is dedicated to environmental management, including the Skitchwaug State Wildlife Mgmt Area and the Hubbard Hill State Forest. These tracts surround prominent terrain features like Skitchwaug Mountain and Rattlesnake Hill, illustrating a valley that has balanced its manufacturing heritage with large-scale land preservation.
