2018 Map of Tinkerville

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the dividing line between Coos County, New Hampshire, and Essex County, Vermont, in this 2018 study. Small riverbank settlements and farming clusters are connected by a network of rural roads that navigate the dramatic elevation changes of the White Mountains and Northeast Kingdom foothills. Notable hubs include Columbia Bridge and Bloomfield, while North Stratford anchors the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. High ground is defined by prominent peaks such as Lightning Mtn and Mt Pleasant. For genealogists and local historians, the landscape is dotted with small family and community burial grounds, including Blodgett Cem, O'Neil Cem, and Healey Cem, which remain as markers of the area's early families. The numerous tributaries, such as Schoolhouse Brook and Roaring Brook, suggest a landscape historically shaped by timber and water power.
