About this map

The Ashuelot River corridor anchors this 2012 study of Cheshire County, centering on the city of Keene. The urban core is well-defined by landmark institutions like Keene State College and extensive burial grounds including Woodland Cem and Greenlawn Cem. To the north, the Surry Mountain Flood Control Area and Surry Mountain Camping Area reflect a landscape managed for both recreation and flood mitigation, while the Dillant-Hopkins Airport and the rail-oriented site of Swanzey Station to the south illustrate the region's evolving transportation infrastructure.

Residential growth is evident in developments like Longmeadow Subdivision and Maple Acres, which sit nestled between the river and the highlands of Beech Hill. The map also captures significant water features like Goose Pond and the Ash Swamp Brook, alongside rural pockets such as Joslin and Spragueville. Notable landmarks like the Sawyers Crossing Bridge near Mount Cresson highlight the enduring historic character of the New Hampshire valley.
