About this map

The Contoocook River winds through this Merrimack County landscape, defining a region where colonial-era settlement patterns meet mid-century infrastructure. The village of Contoocook stands as a primary hub, featuring a High Sch, the Maple Street Sch, and the local Fairgrounds. To the west, the village of West Hopkinton sits near the Hopkinton Dam, which manages the waters of the Hopkinton-Everett Reservoir.

Evidence of the area's agricultural and industrial evolution is visible in the numerous cemeteries like Blackwater Cem and Putney Cem, alongside the remnants of the Railroad and several Sandpits. The map also captures significant transportation developments with the presence of multiple interchanges along the highway system, contrasting with traditional landmarks like the Covered Bridge and the Hooksett Turnpike. Recreation areas at Stumpfield Marsh and Drew Lake highlight the mid-century shift toward land conservation and public use in New Hampshire.
