About this map

The Connecticut River defines the western edge of this 1930s landscape, winding past the notable river bends at The Oxbow and Horse Meadow. This preliminary edition focuses on the narrow corridor of development along the New Hampshire bank, where the Boston and Maine Railroad and the Dartmouth College Highway parallel the water. The village of Woodsville serves as a primary hub, situated near the confluence with the Ammonoosuc River.

Social and educational landmarks of Grafton County are well-documented, including the County Poor Farm south of Woodsville and rural schoolhouses like Carbee Sch and West Bath Sch. The terrain rises sharply away from the river valley toward the heights of Gardner Mountain and Catamount Ridge. This map captures the area just before mid-century changes, showing established rail stops like Blackmount Sta and the small settlements of North Haverhill and Haverhill.
