About this map

Francestown and Greenfield anchor this topographic study of south-central New Hampshire, where the terrain is defined by the significant elevations of the Wapack Range and Crotched Mountain. The landscape is a complex network of granite peaks and water bodies, including the curiously named Haunted Lake and the recreational waters of Zephyr Lake. The drainage patterns of the South Branch Piscataquog River and Stony Brook trace the valleys between high points like Rose Mountain and Lyndeborough Mountain.

Settlement patterns in the late 1980s show established village centers at South Lyndeborough and Russell, connected by winding roads that respect the steep contours of the land. Small-scale resource extraction is evident from scattered Gravel Pits, while the presence of several Cemeteries and post offices provides valuable points of reference for local historians. The map also captures The Pinnacle and North Pack Monadnock Mountain, highlighting the area's role as a notable highland corridor.
