About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the primary artery of this Upper Valley region, defining the border between Windsor, Vermont, and New Hampshire. The terrain is dominated by the massive profile of Mt Ascutney, around which Ascutney State Park and several wildlife management areas are established. Settlement patterns follow the valley floors and drainage of Mill Brook, where the village of Brownsville and the town center of Windsor developed around water power and transport routes.

Infrastructure in the late 1990s reflects a blend of traditional landmarks and modern utility, including the historic Covered Bridge Cornish Bridge and the Central Vermont railroad line. Industrial and civic footprints are visible through the Southeast State Correctional Facility and Miller Airport. From the heights of Horseback Ridge to the lowlands of Wilgus State Park, the map documents a landscape of steep elevation changes and managed conservation lands, including Saint Gaudens National Hist Site across the river.
