About this map

The city of Keene serves as the hub of this New Hampshire landscape, centered on the Ashuelot River and its network of feeding brooks like Tenant Swamp and Beaver Brook. By the late 1990s, the urban footprint had expanded significantly toward the Dillant - Hopkins Airport to the south, while the historic academic core remained defined by institutions such as the State College and the Cheshire Hosp Sch of Nursing.

Outside the city limits, the terrain rises toward Surry Mtn and Grays Hill, where the landscape transitions to a mix of rural cemeteries and localized landmarks. Researchers can trace older infrastructure like the Covered Bridge near the Swanzey border or the distinct educational clusters ranging from the Benjamin Franklin Sch to the Mt Caesar Sch. The presence of the County Fairground and various municipal landmarks like the City Hall and Mus reflect the long-standing civic character of this regional center.
