2018 Map of Keene

About this map

Keene sits at a geographic crossroads in southwestern New Hampshire, where the Ashuelot River and its various tributaries like Beaver Brook and Black Brook converge. This 2018 survey documents a landscape defined by its educational and industrial heritage, prominently featuring Keene State College and Antioch Univ New England within the urban core. The map traces the transition from the city center to outlying settlements such as North Swanzey and Swanzey Station, connected by a network of historic routes and the path of the Old B&M Railroad. Surrounding the valley, prominent heights like Beech Hill, Surry Mtn, and West Hill overlook the basin, while the Dillant-Hopkins Airport occupies the flatlands to the south. Local history is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds, including Woodland Cem and Saint Josephs Cem, alongside landmarks like the Sawyers Crossing Bridge.
