About this map

The Ottauquechee River valley serves as the central artery for this part of Windsor County, anchoring the prominent village of Woodstock and the industrial activity at English Mills and Bailey Mills. The settlement pattern in the early 20th century is defined by small crossroads and hollows, such as Briggs P O and Bridgewater Center, many of which were supported by a dense network of local education including the Mendall School and Curtis Hollow School.

In the western reaches, the terrain around Delectable Mountain and Southgate Mountain creates a landscape of isolated valleys like Dailey Hollow and Pinney Hollow. A notable social landmark is the Town Farm near South Woodstock, reflecting early municipal care systems. The map also captures the early layout of Plymouth Notch and Plymouth Union before mid-century changes, showing the tight integration of these villages with the Black River.
