About this map

Keene sits as a bustling rail and industrial hub at the turn of the century, where the Fitchburg Division and Cheshire Br converge. The Ashuelot River and its tributaries, such as Otter Brook and The Branch, dictate the settlement patterns of the surrounding valleys, supporting mills and timber operations in West Swanzey and Ashuelot. This late-Victorian landscape is deeply agricultural and resource-driven, shown through the network of farms and secondary roads connecting Chesterfield to the Connecticut River border.
