The Souhegan River serves as the central artery for this part of Hillsborough County, flowing through the primary settlement at Milford. This region of southern New Hampshire exhibits a dense network of local roads and named topographic features, reflecting centuries of land use and community development. The map details several distinct residential and historical clusters, including Perham Corner in the northwest and the southern edges of Wilton. The landscape is characterized by numerous significant hills such as Federal Hill, Burns Hill, and Abbot Hill, interspersed with small water bodies and wetlands like Osgood Pond and the Rhododendron Swamp. Local historians and genealogists will find several burial grounds documented across the area, from Mount Calvary Cem and Laurel Hill Cem near the river to the more secluded Pratt Cem further south. The southern reaches near North Brookline show a shift toward smaller brooks and ponds, including Melendy Pond and Worcester Millpond.
