About this map

Goffstown and the village of Grasmere anchor this late-1960s landscape, where the Piscataquog River is impounded at Glen Lake. The region is defined by its transition from industrial riverfront to upland hill farms, with the Maine Central and Boston and Maine Railroad corridor following the southern bank of the river. Local infrastructure is well-documented, including the Moore General Hospital, the County Home, and several educational and municipal landmarks like the High Sch.

Further north, the terrain rises toward Quimby Mtn and Brown Hill, revealing a network of older settlements such as Dunbarton Center and South Bow. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed mapping of burial grounds, including Westlawn Cem, Hillside Cem, and Holy Trinity Cemetery. The abundance of small water bodies like Kimball Pond and Purgatory Pond underscores the area's complex glacial topography.
