1949 Map of Monadnock

Transport is defined by the Boston and Maine railroad, which threads through settlements like Troy and Fitzwilliam Depot. Water bodies such as Nubanusit Lake and Thorndike Pond provide a backdrop for clustered villages like Harrisville and Jaffrey. The map captures a transition period where traditional centers like Jaffrey Center remain distinct from the more commercial Jaffrey, and local amenities like the Dublin Golf Club and Halfway House reflect the region's long-standing draw for summer visitors and hikers.
