About this map

The Merrimack River flows through this 2012 survey, defining the industrial and agricultural landscape of the Merrimack Valley north of the capital. In the south, the village of Penacook centers on the confluence with the Contoocook River, surrounded by residential developments like Concord Manor and recreational spaces such as the Beaver Meadow Golf Course. The map highlights the transition from the denser grid of Penacook to the upland farms and orchards of Canterbury.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites across the hills, including Kezer Seminary and the Shell Church Cem in the northeast. Agricultural tradition remains evident through named landmarks like Hackleboro Orchards and Apple Hill Farm. The presence of the New Hampshire State Veterans Cem and Canterbury Station reflects the area's continued role as a transportation and civic hub, while smaller water bodies like Turtle Pond and Snow Pond dot the more wooded eastern terrain.
