DescriptionThe small "River" beyond the "meadow" in the foreground is probably the Lieutenant River. The Congregational Church is in the center of the composition, with numerous other buildings, mostly houses, on the left and right. Notations indicate two "cornfield[s" on the left and "Apples" on the right. A largely treeless hill in the background is labeled "rocky." A small bridge crosses the river
