1935 Map of Keene

About this map

The Ashuelot River valley serves as the industrial and transit corridor for this part of Cheshire County, anchored by the dense street grid of Keene. During this era, the Boston and Maine RR and the Central Vermont RR define the movement of goods and people between settlements like West Swanzey and Hinsdale. Rural life is meticulously documented through family-named landmarks such as Butterfield Hill and Owls Hill, alongside essential community structures like the Superior Sch and Meetinghouse Hill.
