1927 Map of Penacook

About this map

The confluence of the Pemigewasset River and Winnipesaukee River at Franklin forms the headwaters of the Merrimack River, creating a landscape defined by water-powered industry and early transport. In the mid-1920s, this region was a network of manufacturing hubs like Franklin Falls and Tilton, balanced by rural agrarian communities in Boscawen and Canterbury. The Boston and Maine railroad tracks hug the river valleys, connecting smaller stations like Halcyon Sta and Northfield Sta to larger centers. Notable landmarks such as the Daniel Webster Birthplace and the Soldiers Home in Tilton reflect the area's deep historical roots. The map also reveals an extensive system of district schools, including the Dyers Crossing School and Mountain School, which served the scattered populations on hills like Bean Hill and Cilley Hill.
