2015 Map of Hopkinton

About this map

The Contoocook River and its major tributaries, the Warner River and Blackwater River, converge in this central New Hampshire landscape, defining the layout of the historic villages. The topography is marked by several prominent heights, including Gould Hill, Putney Hill, and Rattlesnake Hill, which overlook the river valleys. The village of Contoocook is a focal point, featuring the notable Contoocook Covered Bridge, while West Hopkinton preserves the Rowell Covered Bridge to the west. Several small cemeteries, such as the Old Hop Cem and Blackwater Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, indicating long-established settlement patterns. To the south, the terrain becomes more varied around Drew Lake and Irish Hill as the landscape transitions toward the boundary with Hillsborough County.
