About this map

Monadnock State Park serves as the focal point of this Cheshire County landscape, where the prominent peak of Monadnock Mountain rises above a network of smaller heights like Gap Mtn and Cubleigh Hill. This 1984 survey reveals the established infrastructure of the southwestern New Hampshire highlands, centered on the industrial and residential hubs of Troy, Jaffrey, and Fitzwilliam. The Boston and Maine RR cuts a winding path through the terrain, passing through Fitzwilliam Depot and linking the smaller settlements.

Conservation areas are prominent throughout the quadrangle, including the floral sanctuary of Rhododendron State Park and Gay State Forest. The water profile is defined by numerous glacial ponds and reservoirs such as Thorndike Pond, Gilmore Pond, and Rockwood Pond, which supported local industry and recreation. For the local historian, the map preserves the locations of numerous quarries and small crossroads communities like Bowkerville and Beechwood Corners during the late twentieth century.
