About this map

The Merrimack River serves as the central artery for this capital city region, defining the industrial and civic layout of Concord and its outlying villages. The 1967 survey, updated with 1980s data, reveals the dense institutional presence north of the city center, including the State Prison and the extensive grounds of the State Hospital. The landscape transitions from the urbanized core near Horseshoe Pond to the institutional and educational corridors of the St Pauls Sch campus along the Turkey River.

Transportation networks are well-established, with the Boston and Maine railroad following the river valley while the Everett Turnpike facilitates modern regional movement. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous burial grounds like Blossom Hill Cemetery and Old North Cem. To the west, the landscape rises toward Rattlesnake Hill and the protected lands of Walker State Forest, illustrating the balance between New Hampshire's political center and its forested uplands.
