About this map

The Contoocook River defines the central corridor of this area, anchoring the town of Henniker and its surrounding hamlets. The town center is a hub of activity, featuring the New England College campus and the landmark Henniker Bridge. The landscape transitions from the river valley to prominent heights such as Mount Hope and Craney Hill, where the Pats Peak Ski Area is situated. Historically significant sites like the Friends Cem and Plummer Cem offer vital clues for genealogical research.

Transportation and recreation are prominent themes throughout the region, from the aviation activity at Intervale Airport to the seasonal use of Keyser Pond Campground. Small railway-related locations like Emerson Station and Henniker Junction recall the era of rail transport that once connected these New Hampshire communities. The map also captures the settlement at Colby and the clusters of homes around Clement Pond and Keyser Pond, reflecting a blend of year-round residence and summer retreat culture.
