1968 Map of New Boston

About this map

New Boston serves as the focal point of this hilly terrain, where the Middle Branch Piscataquog River and South Branch Piscataquog River wind through a landscape defined by prominent drumlins and ridges. The presence of the New Hampshire Satellite Tracking Annex near Joe English Hill signals the mid-century intersection of traditional New England landscapes and modern defense infrastructure. Further south, the map details the quiet community of Mont Vernon and the rural crossroads at Johnson Corner. Local history is visible in the network of family-named features like Hooper Hill, McCollom Hill, and the secluded Greenlawn Cem. Natural landmarks including Purgatory Falls and Joe English Pond highlight the varied topography that shaped early settlement patterns and subsequent land use in this part of Hillsborough County.
