About this map

Marlborough and Harrisville anchor this 1984 survey of the Monadnock region, a landscape defined by an intricate network of highland reservoirs and granite peaks. The map reveals the area's transition from an industrial past to a residential and recreational character, featuring the prominent Harrisville Pond and Skatutakee Lake which once powered local mills. Landmarks such as the St Francis Ch and Pine Grove Cem in Marlborough offer key points for genealogical research, while the Quarry south of town indicates the enduring importance of stone extraction in this part of Cheshire County.

The rugged terrain is dominated by summits like Thumb Mtn and Skatutakee Mtn, with significant conservation areas including Otter Brook State Park and Leighton State Forest. Educational and social institutions are well-marked, from the Dublin Christian Academy to the Dublin Country Club near the clear waters of Dublin Pond. This detailed record captures the historic settlements of Chesham and Eastview during a period of modern growth and environmental preservation.
