1953 Map of Manchester
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The industrial corridor of the Merrimack River anchor this 1950s survey, showing the concentrated growth of Manchester and Nashua before the expansion of modern suburban sprawl. Central to the landscape is Grenier Air Force Base, a significant Cold War military presence just south of the city. The map documents a transition from the dense urban centers and their associated manufacturing infrastructure to the outlying rural townships like Londonderry and Windham, where small settlements like Windham Depot and Peppermint Corner remained distinct locales.
