1957 Map of Gilmanton

About this map

Gilmanton Ironworks and the surrounding township anchor this mid-century topographic record, which reveals a landscape defined by New Hampshire's central lakes and ridges. This 1957 revision updates a network of local settlements like Lower Gilmanton and Loudon Ridge, where the presence of the Loudon Ridge Sch and the Academy highlight the area's established educational roots. The map is particularly rich in religious and communal history, marking the Shaker Village at the western edge and historic sites such as the Smith Meeting House and the Friends Meetinghouse in Epsom.
