1898 Map of Monadnock

About this map

Monadnock Mt. dominates the center of this late nineteenth-century survey, a landmark surrounded by a network of upland villages and active rail lines. The landscape is defined by its many bodies of water, from Nubanusit Lake and Silver Lake to smaller, high-altitude catchments like Meetinghouse Pond and Stone Pond. The era's transportation infrastructure is clearly visible, with the Fitchburg R. R. and the Boston and Maine providing vital links to the outside world through hubs like Marlboro Depot and Fitzwilliam Depot.
