1950 Map of Ashburnham

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Ashburnham and its surrounding hamlets are depicted here during a period of mid-century stability, where the rugged topography of the New Hampshire border dictates the layout of its roads and settlements. The town center sits at the confluence of the Boston and Maine RR and Main St, while smaller industrial or residential clusters like Lane Village and Blackburn Village are linked by winding paths through the many hills. The landscape is dominated by water and wood, with Lower Naukeag Lake and Upper Naukeag Lake serving as central landmarks alongside extensive State Forest lands. Genealogical researchers will find localized detail in labels such as School No 8 and Wilder Cem, while the industrial history of the region is noted by the presence of the Old North Ashburnham Sta. Peaks such as Mount Watatic and Little Watatic Mountain provide a dramatic backdrop to the dispersed mountain ponds and brooks that feed the Miller River.
