1956 Map of Mt. Kearsarge

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Mt Kearsarge State Park dominates the center of this landscape, surrounded by a dense network of hill-country settlements in Merrimack County. The Boston and Maine railroad tracks weave through the valley north of the mountain, serving communities like Potter Place and Cilleyville. In the west, the campus of Colby Jr College is established near New London, while the southern reaches follow the Warner River through Warner and Lower Village. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural and mill past to a mid-century recreation economy, noted by the Kearsarge Valley Golf Course and several state forests. Water bodies such as Kezar Lake, Blaisdell Lake, and Bradley Lake are well-defined, serving as anchors for local recreation and historical industrial sites like Melvin Mills and Newmarket.
