1949 Map of Monadnock

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Monadnock Mtn serves as the central landmark for this Cheshire County landscape, which by the late 1940s was defined by a mix of established villages and seasonal recreation. The mountain is crisscrossed by established footpaths like the White Dot Trail and White Cross Trail, leading from the Halfway House towards the summit lookout. In the valleys below, the Boston and Maine railroad corridor connects industrial and transit nodes such as Fitzwilliam Depot and West Rindge. Local civic life is recorded through features like the Roxbury Sch and St Francis Ch, alongside leisure sites like the Dublin Golf Club and Fitchburg Boy Scout Camp. The map details a sophisticated water management and natural network including Nubanusit Lake, Silver Lake, and the Babbidge Res, supporting both the small mill towns and the growing summer populations of the mid-century.
