2023 Map of Haverhill

About this map

The Merrimack River bisects this landscape, separating the core of Haverhill and Bradford from the surrounding highlands and satellite settlements. Modern infrastructure and residential growth are visible throughout the region, though the map preserves the names of numerous historical burial grounds, such as the Hilldale Cem and the Old Town Hall Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The rail corridor of the B & M RR still serves as a defining transit spine through Plaistow and Newton Junction, mirroring the river’s historical role in industrial development. Several distinct water bodies, including Lake Pentucket and Lake Saltonstall, remain central landmarks within the urbanized grid, while higher ground is marked by features like Ayers Hill and Brandy Brow Hill. This survey provides a clear view of the area's transition from traditional mill town centers to a more complex modern educational and residential hub, anchored by institutions like Northern Essex Community College.
