1941 Map of Manchester

About this map

Massabesic Lake and the winding Merrimack River anchor this mid-century topographic portrait of southern New Hampshire’s industrial and residential heart. The urban centers of Manchester and Nashua are shown at a pivotal moment of growth, connected by the extensive network of the Boston and Maine Railroad. Between these cities, the landscape is dotted with smaller settlements like Windham Depot and Reeds Ferry, reflecting an era when rail stops and river crossings still defined local geography.
