About this map

The Pemigewasset River defines the geography of this central New Hampshire landscape, winding through a valley flanked by significant peaks like Burleigh Mountain and Sanbornton Mountain. In the northwest, the Newfound River flows from Newfound Lake into the village of Bristol, where a dense street grid of residential ways like School St and Prospect St clusters near the water. Further downstream, the river passes Sumner Island and continues toward the town of Hill, which sits at a junction of roads near the Pleasant Hill Cem.

Genealogists can trace local history through the many burial grounds and places of worship, including the Hill Center Church Yard and Bunker Hill Cem. The area maintains its rural character through landmarks like the New Hampshire Fish Hatchery near New Hampton, while the surrounding terrain is marked by numerous brooks, including Wallace Brook and Needle Shop Brook, which drainage into the primary river system.
