About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the central spine of this landscape, marking the historic boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire. This 2018 survey documents the enduring settlement patterns of Walpole and Westminster, where the river valley supports a mixture of agricultural land like the Putney Great Meadows and the industrial infrastructure of the Central Vermont RR. The presence of Westminster Station and Westmoreland Depot indicates the importance of the rail line to the region’s economic history.

Upland features such as Hedgehog Hill and Gilboa Mtn frame the valley, while smaller communities like North Westminster and Christian Hollow are tied together by a network of rural roads including Covered Bridge Rd. Several historical burial grounds, including the Westminster Old Cem and Saint Peters Cem, provide points of interest for genealogical research. The map also highlights unique landmarks such as the Kurn Hattin School and Santa's Airport, which reflect the area's diverse land use.
