Easton encompasses approximately 32 square miles of territory divided by its rivers into two prominent valleys. the norther part of town--what we can the Easton Valley--contains the Ham Branch River and its tributaries, Kendall, Judd, Slide, Reel, and Swamp Brooks. To the south, over what local people call the "height of the land," runs the transverse valley of the Wild Ammonoosuc River, fed by Clay, Black, Tunnel, and Bowen Brooks.
