About this map

The Piscataquog River flows through the heart of this landscape, powering the development of Goffstown and the nearby village of Grasmere. By the late 1960s, the area reflects a transition from its agrarian roots to a more modern infrastructure, with the Boston and Maine RR following the riverbank past Glen Lake. Educational and civic anchors are well-established, including the High Sch, Maple Ave Sch, and the Moore General Hospital.

Upriver in Dunbarton, the terrain is defined by a dense network of water bodies like Kimball Pond and the expansive Great Meadows. Local history is preserved in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as the East Dunbarton Cem, Hillside Cem, and Ordway Cem. The map reveals an economy still tied to the land, evidenced by numerous Gravel Pit operations and a Brickyard located near the Hooksett border.
