About this map

Mount Kearsarge dominates this central New Hampshire landscape, serving as a prominent centerpiece for the surrounding townships of Andover, Sutton, and Warner. The Boston and Maine RR winds through the river valleys, connecting small railroad hamlets such as Potter Place, South Danbury Converse Sta, and West Andover Gale Sta. This network supported a rural economy defined by local mills at Shingle Mill Corner and resource extraction at the Gold Pit and Mica Pit.

Educational and social life is deeply mapped through numerous district schools like the Mountain School and Low Plains School, while spiritual centers such as Meetinghouse Hill and the Old Pioneer Cemetery provide valuable data for genealogists. Large water bodies, including Pleasant Lake and Lake Massasecum, are shown alongside specialized landmarks like the Ragged Mtn Club and the Fair Grounds near Bradford.
