About this map

Bradford Center and Hillsboro Center serve as the primary hubs in this highland region of New Hampshire, where the border between Merrimack Co and Hillsborough Co cuts across a landscape defined by prominent peaks and scattered glacial ponds. The settlement pattern reflects the area’s early agrarian roots, with numerous small burial grounds such as Presbury Cem and Coolidge Cem situated near local family-named landmarks like Kimball Hill and Murdough Hill.

Water plays a central role in the geography, from the larger recreation-oriented Lake Massasecum in the northeast to the Contoocook River passing through the southeast corner. Local genealogists will find value in the precise placement of namesake cemeteries like Munroe Cem and Gerry Cem, while the road network, including W Meadow Rd and Bible Hill Rd, reveals how these disparate upland communities remained connected through the undulating terrain of Silver Hill and Knights Hill.
