1987 Map of Northfield

About this map

The Winnipesaukee River carves through the center of this New Hampshire landscape, defining the industrial and social development of Tilton and Northfield. By the late 1980s, the area shows a distinct clustering of commerce and residence along the river corridor, while the surrounding hills remain largely forested or punctuated by family-named landmarks like Calef Hill and Bean Hill. The transition between Belknap and Merrimack counties is clearly marked as it follows the river's path, highlighting how the waterway served as both a natural boundary and a shared resource for the twin towns.
