1988 Map of Tinkerville

About this map

The Connecticut River defines the border between New Hampshire and Vermont in this late 20th-century survey, carving a path through the northern Appalachians. Small settlements and family landmarks anchor the riverbank, including the eponymous Tinkerville and the village of Columbia. Cultural history is noted through features like a Cem and a historic Turntable at North Stratford, signaling the area's rail heritage. The landscape is heavily wooded and mountainous, rising from the river valley to heights like Lightning Mtn and Mt Pleasant. While predominantly rural, the presence of an Airport, a Quarry, and several gravel operations near Lemington point to the local resource-based economy. Numerous brooks, such as Blodgett Brook and Harvey Branch, drain the steep terrain of Columbia and Bloomfield townships.
