1987 Map of Penacook

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Merrimack River flows south through the center of this landscape, marking the convergence with the Contoocook River at the village of Penacook. This area shows a transition from the industrial and residential settlement at Penacook to the more rural, pond-dotted terrain of Canterbury and Boscawen. Significant landmarks include the Hannah Dustin Historical Site on a small island in the river and the Sewalls Falls reach to the south. The map documents the region's environmental preservation through the Hirst State Wildlife Management Area and Ayers State Forest. Numerous water bodies, such as Snow Pond, Turtle Pond, and Crane Neck Pond, characterize the upland areas away from the river valley, while former transportation hubs like Canterbury Station and Northfield Sta indicate the importance of the rail corridor through the valley.
