1987 Map of Haverhill

About this map

The Merrimack River serves as the dominant geographical feature of this 1980s landscape, winding past the urban centers of Haverhill and Groveland. The map captures the dense settlement patterns of the late 20th century, where older village cores like Ayers Village and Newton Junction are linked by a developing network of highways and the Boston and Maine Railroad. On the New Hampshire side of the border, the topography is punctuated by numerous family-named peaks such as Poors Hill and Bragg Hill, alongside recreational and educational hubs like Atkinson Academy and the Crystal Springs Golf Club.
