Hanover and the surrounding villages of Pembroke and Hanson are defined by a complex network of wetlands and glacial water bodies. The Indian Head River flows through the northern reaches, while the southern portion of the landscape is dominated by the large expanses of Silver Lake, Oldham Pond, and Furnace Pond. These water features historically supported local industry and agriculture, evidenced by naming conventions like Wampatuck Bogs and Winebrook Bogs. The transport history of the area is visible through the Hanover Branch Rail-Trl, which traces the path of former rail connections that once linked these inland settlements.
