About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the defining boundary between Coos County, New Hampshire, and Essex County, Vermont, carving a path through this mountainous region. The settlements of Stratford, North Stratford, and Maidstone are concentrated along this vital waterway, linked by roads that follow the river's lower elevations. Family history is preserved at the Smith - Gardner - Shoff Cem and Taylor Cem, located near the small hamlets of Masons and Beatties.

Inland, the terrain rises sharply into a series of peaks including Spruce Mtn, Savage Mtn, and Teapot Mtn, which frame the prominent Stratford Notch to the northeast. Numerous water bodies like Hoskins Pond, Jonathan Pond, and Paul Stream Pond dot the landscape, fed by a network of tributaries such as Bog Brook and Roaring Brook. The map details a mix of established routes like Reservoir RD and more remote tracks including Gay Brook RD, reflecting a landscape shaped by timber and river-valley agriculture.
