1906 Map of Milford

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Milford serves as the central hub of this 1904 survey, situated at the confluence of the Souhegan River and multiple rail lines. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the industrious valley floors and the prominent peaks of the Un Canoonuc Mountains and Joe English Hill. The concentration of small settlements like Ponemah, Richardson, and East Milford along the Boston and Maine RR corridors illustrates the region's early 20th-century dependence on rail transport for both commerce and the local spring water industry, evidenced by Milford Springs and Witch Spring. Higher elevations are dotted with family-named landmarks such as McCollom Hill and Wilson Hill, while numerous water bodies like Baboosic Pond and Naticook Lake dominate the eastern and southern reaches. The map captures a moment when rural villages were firmly connected by the Keene Branch and the Manchester and Milford Branch before the rise of modern highway networks.
