2024 Map of Canaan

About this map

The Mascoma River and Indian River valleys define the southern landscape of this Grafton County survey, where the village of Canaan sits as a primary hub. This area preserves a mix of conservation land and traditional New Hampshire settlement patterns, from the clustered homes of Canaan Street to the scattered farms near West Canaan. Large water bodies like Goose Pond and Canaan Street Lake dominate the central terrain, while the northern reaches transition into protected wilderness within the Silvio O Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge. High-elevation landmarks such as Sawyer Hill and Jones Hill offer structural variety to the drainage basins of Clark Pond Brook and Crystal Lake Brook. For those tracking regional transit and recreation, the Appalachian National Scenic Trail crosses the northwest corner, and the presence of Moore Airfield near the rail corridor highlights the intersection of modern and historic transportation routes.
