1929 Map of Hillsboro

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The Birthplace of Franklin Pierce serves as a prominent historical anchor in this New Hampshire landscape, situated between Hillsboro Lower Village and the Contoocook River. The settlement pattern in the late 1920s reveals a cluster of distinct villages, including Hillsboro Center and Hillsboro Upper Village, connected by the Pierce Highway. The region's industrial and transit backbone is defined by the Boston and Maine Railroad, which follows the river through Henniker and Henniker Junc. Local educational history is well-represented by numerous rural schoolhouses such as Liberty Union Sch and Quigley Sch. To the south, the village of Antrim and nearby Clinton Village sit amidst a terrain of significant water bodies like Jackman Reservoir and Gregg Lake, reflecting a period when small-town industry and agriculture were still deeply integrated with the natural topography of Merrimack and Hillsboro Counties.
