About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the focal point for this mid-1930s survey, marking the boundary between New Hampshire and Vermont. The bustling rail hub of Woodsville sits at the confluence with the Ammonoosuc River, where the Boston and Maine RR lines converge. This era of settlement is defined by small riverside communities like Haverhill and North Haverhill and a rural infrastructure that included the County Poor Farm and local schoolhouses such as the Carbee Sch and West Bath Sch.

Tracing south along the river, the landscape transitions from the heights of Gardner Mountain to the fertile flats of the Horse Meadow and the distinct loop of The Oxbow. The railroad's influence is evident in smaller stops like Blackmount Sta and the industrial activity near Pike. This map preserves the layout of a working New England river valley before modern highway development bypassed many of these local landmarks and original farmsteads.
