1953 Map of Milford

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Souhegan River and Piscataquog River systems anchor this study of south-central New Hampshire, centering on the manufacturing hub of Milford and the surrounding mill towns. In the early 1950s, the Boston and Maine railroad still navigated these valleys, connecting Wilton, Amherst, and Ponemah to the industrial centers of Nashua and Manchester. A significant portion of the interior is occupied by the U S Military Reservation Air Force Bombing Range, which sits amidst a landscape of named family hills such as Joe English Hill and McCollom Hill. Educational and recreational landmarks are well-represented, from St Anselms College in the northeast to the specialized High Mowing Sch in the south. The map documents numerous small ponds and state-managed lands, including the Curtiss Dogwood State Res and Silver Lake State Park, illustrating the region's balance of industry, academic life, and conservation during this post-war era.
