1968 Map of Manchester North

About this map

The Merrimack River corridor defines the landscape of this 1968 survey, showing the northward expansion of Manchester and the surrounding villages in Merrimack Co. The industrial and educational foundations of the region are evident through institutions such as the State Industrial Sch and Notre Dame College, while the residential patterns of the mid-20th century are visible in the growing footprints of South Hooksett and Severance. Transportation infrastructure, including the Everett Turnpike and the Boston and Maine railroad, follows the river valley, connecting these urban centers to the northern reaches of Suncook.
