About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the focal point of this late 20th-century landscape, carving a boundary between New Hampshire and Vermont where the Ammonoosuc River and Wells River converge. This confluence defined the development of the twin villages of Woodsville and Wells River, which emerged as a significant transportation hub. The map traces the path of the Canadian Pacific railroad as it parallels the river, passing through East Ryegate and near several smaller clusters like Boltonville and Four Corners.

Local history researchers will find a wealth of community landmarks, from the Blue Mtn Union Sch to a series of family-named burial grounds including Carbee Cem and Hamm Cem. The transition from industrial rail era to modern infrastructure is evident in the presence of Interchange 17 and a Drive-in Theater, contrasted with the surviving Covered Bridge near the heart of Woodsville. The terrain is dominated by the steep slopes of Gardner Mountain, which rises sharply from the eastern riverbank.
