About this map

The Ammonoosuc River and its tributary, the Wild Ammonoosuc River, dictate the settlement patterns and industry of this New Hampshire region. In Lisbon, the riverfront is characterized by industrial activity including a Water Tank and several Sandpits, while the Sugar Hill Sta suggests the area's historical reliance on rail for commerce. The landscape transitions from the river valleys to the high peaks of the White Mountain National Forest, featuring landmarks like Mt Hope and Green Mtn.

Genealogists will find a wealth of small hamlets and rural landmarks such as Landaff Center, Savageville, and Swiftwater, where a Covered Bridge still spans the water. The map preserves the locations of early local education and burial grounds, including the Blue Sch and the Center Hill Cem. From the quiet of Dark Hollow to the established Salmon Hole on the northern reaches of the river, this survey documents a balance of small-town industry and mountain wilderness.
