About this map

Henniker and its surrounding hill country define this detailed study of south-central New Hampshire. The Contoocook River winds through the landscape, anchoring the settlement at West Henniker Emerson Station and the historic campus of New England College. This river corridor historically provided the power and transport necessary for local development, as seen at Henniker Junction and the iconic Henniker Bridge.

Away from the valley floor, the terrain rises sharply into named peaks like Craney Hill and Mt Misery. For genealogists, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, including the Colby Cem, Friends Cem, and Plummer Cem. The distribution of ponds, such as Long Pond and Clement Pond, along with numerous brooks, illustrates the complex water network that supported both rural industry and early farming in the townships of the Merrimack and Hillsborough county border.
