2024 Map of Henniker

About this map

The Contoocook River winds through this New Hampshire terrain, anchoring a series of small settlements and transportation hubs. At the center of the sheet, the town of Henniker is notably defined by the campus of New England College, surrounded by local landmarks like the First Burial Yard and Henniker Cem North. To the west, Emerson Station and West Henniker mark the river's path, while the name Henniker Junction points to the area's rail history. The landscape is heavily textured with high points such as Windsor Ward Peak, Craney Hill, and Proctor Hill, which look down upon numerous water bodies including French Pond, Keyser Pond, and Clement Pond. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites, from the Friends Cem to the Chase Cem and Plummer Cem, reflecting generations of settlement across the hills of Merrimack County and Hillsborough County.
