About this map

The Contoocook River dominates this landscape, winding through a complex network of reservoirs and flood control areas during the late 1960s. The completion of the Hopkinton Dam and the resulting Hopkinton-Everett Reservoir fundamentally altered the local topography, creating sprawling inundation zones like the Stumpfield Marsh. This engineering era is juxtaposed with older New England landmarks, including a Covered Bridge and the Fairgrounds near Contoocook.

Cultural and civic life is well-documented through several schools and religious sites. The map identifies the Maple Street Sch, Martin Sch, and High Sch, alongside local landmarks like St Marys Ch. The presence of the Claremont And Concord Railroad tracks and multiple interchanges on the developing highway system illustrate the region's mid-century transition from rail-dependent industry to modern transit corridors. Small settlements like Davisville, West Hopkinton, and Pages Corner remain central to the map's genealogy and local history value.
