1927 Map of Holderness

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The Pemigewasset River and the Boston and Maine RR define the north-south transit corridor through the heart of this region during the mid-1920s. This survey, compiled in part from early aerial photography, reveals a landscape densely dotted with rural infrastructure, including a remarkable number of small school districts such as Plaisted School, Hannaford School, and River Road School. The settlement pattern centers on towns like Ashland and Bristol, while the eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling waters of Squam Lake and the western edge of Lake Winnipesaukee. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Hersey Mtn and Leavitt Mtn, which separate the river valleys from the lake basins. Local spiritual life is anchored by landmarks like Dana Church and the Bay Meeting House, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in Belknap and Grafton counties.
