2015 Map of Penacook

About this map

Dustin Island sits at the confluence of the Merrimack River and the Contoocook River, marking a central point in this landscape of northern Concord and the surrounding towns. This survey illustrates the transition from the concentrated residential streets of Penacook and Concord Manor to the more open hillsides of Canterbury. The presence of Kezer Seminary and the New Hampshire State Veterans Cem highlights the area's institutional significance, while the numerous cemeteries like Woodlawn Cem and Zions Hill Cem provide essential data points for local genealogists. The map also reveals an intricate network of waterways, including the Merrimack River Reservoir and Turtle Pond, which define the low-lying areas between prominent elevations such as Cogswell Hill and Zion Hill. Local history is embedded in labels for places like Canterbury Station and Boyce, which denote former transport hubs along the river corridor.
