1956 Map of Penacook

About this map

The confluence of the Pemigewasset River and the Winnipesaukee River forms the headwaters of the Merrimack River at Franklin, a central hub for industrial and agricultural activity in the mid-1950s. The landscape is deeply tied to the legacy of one of its most famous residents, marked by the Daniel Webster Birthplace and the Daniel Webster Home for Children nearby. Transportation networks define the valley, with the Boston and Maine Railroad and the Claremont and Concord Railway tracking the watercourses through towns like Boscawen and Tilton.
