2021 Map of Hillsboro

About this map

Antrim and Bennington anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where the Contoocook River winds northward toward Hillsboro. The area is defined by its network of early turnpikes and river crossings, most notably the Hillsboro-Deering Railroad Covered Bridge and the Great Bridge near the town center. Between the heights of Crotched Mtn and Gibson Mtn, small communities like Clinton Village, Antrim Center, and Hillsboro Lower Village reflect the 19th-century settlement patterns of Hillsborough County. The geography is punctuated by significant water bodies, including Franklin Pierce Lake and Gregg Lake, which historically supported local industry and recreation. Genealogists will find numerous burial grounds documented, from Maplewood Cem to the smaller Butler Cem and Preston Cem. Modern infrastructure like the Hawthorne-Feather Airpark sits alongside historic routes such as the 2nd New Hampshire Tpke, illustrating the layered transport history of the region.
