1956 Map of Cardigan

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The granite peaks of Mt Cardigan and Firescrew dominate this mid-century survey of the New Hampshire interior. The landscape reflects a mix of rugged high-elevation terrain and small, valley-bound settlements. To the east, the waters of Newfound Lake are bordered by Wellington State Park and the developed shorelines of Hebron Bay and Pasquaney Bay. Local industry and connectivity are evident through the Boston and Maine railroad line, which passes through Grafton Center and the now-inactive extraction sites like the Mica Mine and Garnet Mine. This era shows a community defined by its natural resources, with scattered schoolhouses such as School No 9 and Elmwood Sch serving the rural reaches of Alexandria and Groton. Detailed labels identify family-named landmarks like Bucks Corner and Robinson Corner, alongside numerous ponds including Kilton Pond and Waukeena Lake.
