About this map

The Pemigewasset River carves a deep valley through this Central New Hampshire landscape, serving as a primary corridor for modern travel and historical drainage. On the eastern bank, the village of Ashland sits at the junction of the Squam River and the larger Pemigewasset, with its dense network of local streets like Glove St and Mill St reflecting a long-standing industrial and residential center. The western side of the river is dominated by the massive landforms of Plymouth Mountain, Bridgewater Mountain, and Bristol Peak, which separate the river valley from the shores of Newfound Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as Whittemores Cem near the lake and Webster Cem located further north along the river valley. The topography is defined by numerous smaller watercourses, including Glove Hollow Brook and Dick Brown Brook, which feed the larger basins. This map also details the transitional zone between the developed village of Bridgewater and the surrounding peaks like Peaked Hill.
