About this map

The Ammonoosuc River and the Boston and Maine railroad corridor define the industrial and residential heart of this New Hampshire landscape. In Littleton, the concentration of the Armory, hospital, and multiple schools like Lakewood School reflects a regional hub of activity. The surrounding hills, including Walker Mountain and Eustis Hill, are marked by legacy land divisions and family-named roads such as Whipple Hill Road and Farr Hill Road.

To the north, the massive Moore Reservoir alters the path of the Connecticut River along the Vermont border, submerged beneath which are the old riverbanks near North Littleton. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented, from the North Littleton Cemetery to the Wheeler Hill Cemetery. The map also captures the early presence of the interstate system with Interchange 41 and Interchange 42 beginning to reshape local transit patterns.
