1935 Map of Warwick

About this map

The Connecticut River and Millers River define the industrial and agricultural corridors of Franklin County on this 1935 edition, based on surveys from 1887 and 1932. The landscape is characterized by the convergence of major rail lines, including the Central Vermont Ry and the Boston and Maine RR, which serviced manufacturing hubs and village centers like Orange and Millers Falls. In the uplands, the village of Warwick sits in the shadow of Mount Grace, surrounded by numerous peaks such as Notch Mountain and Strobridge Hill. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the northern borderlands between Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont, where the map identifies local landmarks like the Barber Sch and Barrows Cem. The presence of small settlements such as Farley, Erving, and Lock Village illustrates the distributed settlement pattern of the early twentieth century before modern highway expansion shifted local commerce.
