About this map

Monadnock Mountain towers over this region of southwestern New Hampshire, anchoring a landscape defined by significant conservation tracts and small valley settlements. The industrial and transit patterns of the mid-1980s are clearly visible, with the Boston and Maine RR cutting through the terrain to serve villages like Troy and Fitzwilliam Depot. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific residential clusters such as Bowkerville and Beechwood Corners, along with Pine Grove Cem near Fitzwilliam.

Public lands occupy much of the high ground, from the slopes of Monadnock State Park to the botanical refuge of Rhododendron State Park. The transition from rural homesteads to modern utility is evidenced by the Jaffrey Municipal Silver Ranch Airport near the eastern edge. Numerous water bodies like Rockwood Pond and Thorndike Pond suggest the long-standing recreational and timber-processing history of the surrounding hills.
