About this map

Meetinghouse Hill and the numerous family-named peaks of central New Hampshire define this landscape surveyed in the mid-1920s. The region is marked by a dense network of local schools, such as Langley School and Tory Hill School, alongside industry-rooted junctions like Tannery Pl and Shingle Mill Corner. The Boston and Maine RR serves as the primary artery through the valley, connecting settlements like Potter Place, Cilleyville, and Melvin Mills.

The presence of Coal Hearth Cemetery and landmarks like Poor Farm Hill provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads in Merrimack and Sullivan counties. Water bodies ranging from the expansive Lake Massasecum to the Blackwater Reservoir dictate the placement of roads and hamlets, illustrating a rural economy transitioning from early mills toward mid-century residential and recreational uses.
