1949 Map of Monadnock

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Monadnock Mtn dominates the southwestern New Hampshire landscape, serving as a focal point for a network of footpaths including the Marlboro Trail and White Dot Trail. This mid-century survey captures the region's character as a hub for early recreation and local industry, featuring the Fire Lookout and the Halfway House on the mountain's slopes. The settlement pattern is defined by traditional mill towns and village centers like Harrisville, Dublin, and Jaffrey, connected by the Boston and Maine railroad corridor. The presence of the Fitchburg Boy Scout Camp and the Dublin Golf Club illustrates the area's established role as a summer destination. Water is central to the local geography, with numerous bodies such as Nubanusit Lake, Silver Lake, and Contoocook Lake supporting both communities and early industrial sites like the Quarry near Troy.
