About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the focal point of this 1970s landscape, marking the border between Vermont and New Hampshire. The industrial and transportation hubs of Wells River and Woodsville anchor the southern portion of the sheet, where the Ammonoosuc River joins the Connecticut. This junction was a critical rail corridor, evidenced by the presence of the Canadian Pacific and Boston And Maine lines.

Away from the river banks, the terrain rises toward Gardner Mountain and Wallace Hill, punctuated by several smaller water bodies like Ticklenaked Pond and Lake Gardner. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the townships, including Pine Grove Cem, St Josephs Cem, and Hamm Cem. Cultural markers of the era are visible near the village centers, such as the Drive-in Theater in Haverhill and a Covered Bridge spanning the water in Wells River.
