1956 Map of Mt. Kearsarge

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Mt Kearsarge anchors this landscape of central New Hampshire, where the peaks of the Sunapee and Merrimack highlands give way to a network of established villages and mountain lakes. The mid-century corridor of the Boston & Maine RR is clearly visible, threading through the Blackwater River valley and connecting points like Potter Place, Cilleyville, and West Andover. The map captures several distinctive educational and recreational landmarks of the era, including the campus of Colby Jr College in New London and numerous protected areas like Wadleigh State Park and Shadow Hill State Forest. Of particular note for local historians is the South Danbury and East Andover stations, which highlight the intersection of rail infrastructure and rural settlement patterns before the interstate era.
