About this map

The Ammonoosuc River carves through the landscape of the White Mountain foothills, defining the industrial and residential core of Littleton during the late 20th century. This survey, updated in 1988, highlights the significant elevation of the Moore Reservoir along the Connecticut River, which marks the border between New Hampshire and Vermont. The map documents the expansion of regional infrastructure, including the highway interchanges and the residential growth near Dells Pond.

Away from the town center, the terrain is defined by Walker Mountain and Parker Mtn, with rural life preserved in the form of several family-named landmarks and cemeteries. Notable institutions such as St Marys in the Mountains Sch and the Lakeway Sch appear alongside long-standing local features like Slate Ledge and Wheeler Hill. The map also captures smaller communities like North Littleton and Barrett, providing a look at the settlement patterns between the larger river valleys.
