2015 Map of Henniker

About this map

The Contoocook River defines the central geography of this New Hampshire landscape, winding through a valley of interconnected villages and academic grounds. Henniker serves as the primary hub, home to New England College and the landmark Henniker Bridge. The map details the transition from the riverfront to the upland peaks of Mt Hunger and Mt Misery, showing a traditional New England settlement pattern of scattered hilltop farms and valley industries. Genealogy researchers can find several burial grounds, including the Friends Cem and Plummer Cem, while transport historians may trace the rail-influenced layout of Henniker Junction and West Henniker Emerson Station. The surrounding hills, such as Craney Hill and Morrill Hill, are dotted with several small water bodies like Clement Pond and Craney Pond, illustrating the post-glacial terrain typical of the region.
