1906 Map of Milford

About this map

Milford serves as a central hub in this early twentieth-century survey of Hillsborough County, showing a landscape defined by the winding Souhegan River and a dense network of granite hills and ridges. The village of Amherst and the hilltop settlement of Mont Vernon anchor the central portion of the map, while the northern reaches are dominated by the Uncanoonuc Mountains and New Boston. The industrial and transit patterns of the era are visible through the convergence of the Boston and Maine RR and the Manchester and Milford RR, which supported local mills and the resort economy.
