2012 Map of Newbury

About this map

The Connecticut River meanders sharply through this landscape, creating the distinctive loop known as The Oxbow and separating the settlements of Newbury and Haverhill. This riverine border area is characterized by fertile floodplains like Horse Meadow and prominent elevation changes at Pulaski Mountain and Catamount Ridge. The importance of the river crossing is anchored by the Bedell Covered Bridge and the Haverhill Corner Historic District, reflecting the deep-rooted colonial and post-colonial settlement patterns of the Upper Connecticut River Valley. Local genealogy is well-documented through a high concentration of burial grounds, including the North Haverhill Cem, Ladd Street Cem, and Oxbow Cem. To the east, the Dean Memorial Airport and the village of Pike show modern development and industry, while the western side features small crossroads like Peach Four Corners and natural water bodies such as Halls Lake.
