1967 Map of Concord

About this map

The capital city of Concord serves as the focal point of this late 1960s study, where the Merrimack River loops through the landscape past Horseshoe Island and Bradleys Island. The city's institutional identity is clearly defined by the State House, County Courthouse, and the State Hospital complex. In the wooded hills to the west, the campus of St Pauls Sch is situated near Turkey Pond, while the northern ridge of Rattlesnake Hill overlooks the State Prison. This era shows the city expanding toward Concord Heights and the Concord Municipal Airport to the east, while the southern reaches near Bow Mills and Bow Junction demonstrate the influence of the Everett Turnpike and the Boston and Maine railroad on New Hampshire's industrial and transit corridors. Notable local landmarks include the Carmelite Monastery and the extensive Walker State Forest.
