About this map

The Souhegan River serves as the industrial and logistical spine for this portion of Hillsborough County, flowing past the hubs of Wilton and Milford. While the valley floor is occupied by heavy infrastructure like the Boston and Maine railroad and the Milford Fish Hatchery, the surrounding hills remain defined by rural landmarks such as Curtiss Dogwood State Park and High Mowing Sch. The map reveals a post-war landscape where traditional New England town centers are flanked by newer mid-century additions like a Drive-in Theater and several trailer parks.

Local history researchers can trace the extent of early granite and sand production via the numerous Quarries and gravel pits near South Milford. The terrain rises toward the Federal Hill Lookout Tower and Boynton Hill, while secluded water bodies like Rocky Pond and Melendy Pond anchor the southern townships. The concentration of burial sites, including Mt Calvary Cem and Meadow View Cem, offers significant detail for those tracing ancestral roots in these historic communities.
