About this map

Woodsville and Wells River serve as the focal point of this survey, marking the confluence where the Ammonoosuc River and the Wells River meet the Connecticut River. This riverine crossroads is defined by its industrial and transport infrastructure, including the convergence of the Canadian Pacific and Boston and Maine railroads. The map highlights the social fabric of these valley communities, documenting local landmarks like the Cottage Hospital, a Drive-in Theater, and the Blue Mtn Union Sch.

Beyond the river banks, the landscape rises into the Gardner Mountain range and Wallace Hill, dotted with family and municipal burial grounds such as Hamm Cem, Carbee Cem, and Pine Grove Cem. The transition from rural Vermont to New Hampshire is clearly delineated along the water, showing a mix of established settlements like Ryegate Corner and East Ryegate alongside smaller clusters like Boltonville and Four Corners.
