1965 Map of Nashua South

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Merrimack River corridor defines this landscape, serving as the border between New Hampshire and Massachusetts as it flows toward the industrial centers to the south. In the late 1960s, the area reflects a blend of traditional New England village centers and growing suburban infrastructure. The Boston and Maine railroad tracks parallel the river, while the modern Everett Turnpike bypasses the historic core of Nashua to the west. Educational and religious institutions are prominent landmarks, including Rivier College and the St Josephs Novitiate. Away from the river, the terrain rises into a series of named heights such as Spectacle Hill and Abrams Hill, interspersed with numerous ponds like Flint Pond and Mascuppic Lake. Small agricultural or residential crossroads such as Frederick Corner and Whidden Corner persist alongside active industrial sites like the Fletcher Quarry.
