About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the eastern boundary for this mid-1930s survey, marking the state line between Vermont and New Hampshire. The landscape is defined by the steep topography of Blue Mtn and Wright Mountain, with numerous small water bodies such as Ticklenaked Pond and Halls Lake tucked between the ridges. The regional economy of the era is evident in features like the Gleason Quarry and the mills at Ricker Mills.

A dense network of rural infrastructure includes many family-named landmarks and local institutions, such as the Town Farm Sch and Jefferson Hill Sch. Settlement is concentrated in small villages like Wells River and South Ryegate, connected by the Boston and Maine railroad. Geographers and historians will note the complex web of mountain roads, including Scott Road and Anson Road, which navigate the elevation changes to connect isolated farmsteads and schools.
