About this map

The Sugar River corridor anchors this portion of Sullivan County, where industrial heritage and upland farming communities meet. The city of Claremont is defined by its manufacturing roots at Monadnock Mills and educational institutions like the New Hampshire Technical College. Moving north into the township of Cornish, the landscape shifts toward a network of smaller historic hamlets, including Cornish Flat, Cornish Center, and Cornish City.

Genealogists will find several distinct burial sites across the terrain, from the West Point Burying Ground near the river to the upland Child Cem. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by a series of catchments including Whitewater Reservoir, Dole Reservoir, and Rice Reservoir. Notable landmarks like the Blacksmith Shop Bridge reflect the local preservation of traditional infrastructure amidst the hills of Bald Mountain and Green Mountain.
