2018 Map of Loudon

About this map

Shaker Village anchors the northwest corner of this Merrimack County landscape, a site of deep communal history marked by Shaker Ponds and the nearby Shaker Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense network of brooks and small ponds, with the Soucook River flowing through the valley near the primary settlement of Loudon. Evidence of early industrial and agricultural foundations is found in place names like Carding Mill Pond and the numerous family-named roads such as Josiah Bartlett Rd and Mudgett Hill Rd. The map tracks the shift from traditional farming to modern infrastructure, seen in the proximity of Cooper Farm Airport to the established clusters at Loudon Center and Pearls Corner. Rising above the valley, peaks like Sabattus Heights and Clough Hill overlook a patchwork of wetlands including Hunting Swamp and Bog Pond.
