1935 Map of Woodsville

About this map

The Connecticut River serves as the focal point for this mid-1930s survey, marking the boundary between the hills of Vermont and New Hampshire. This region's industrial and agricultural character is defined by a dense network of transport, with the Canadian Pacific, Boston and Maine RR, and Montpelier and Wells River RR converging near Woodsville and Wells River. In the uplands, the landscape is dotted with granite extraction sites such as Gibson Quarry and Ryegate Quarry, alongside numerous rural schoolhouses like School No 3 and the Whitelaw Sch. Social history is visible on the landscape through the County Poor Farm and the Town Farm Hill, reflecting early 20th-century community structures. The map also reveals complex natural features like the Oxbow and Horse Meadow along the river's winding path south of Haverhill.
