About this map

The Nashua River and Nissitissit River converge in this mid-1960s study, defining a landscape of industrial river towns and rural New Hampshire-Massachusetts borderland. The manufacturing and transit heritage of Pepperell and East Pepperell is evident through the path of the Boston and Maine Railroad and the concentration of local landmarks such as the Fitzpatrick Sch and the Covered Bridge spanning the river. North across the state line, Hollis maintains a more agrarian character, punctuated by sites like Hollis Depot and South Cem.

From the wetlands of Reedy Meadow and Hauk Swamp to the residential growth at North Pepperell, the terrain reveals the varied development of the Nashua Valley. Local genealogists will find value in the specific placement of regional burial grounds including Woodlawn Cem and St Louis de Gonzagues Cem, alongside vanished rural schoolhouses and neighborhood junctions like Hovey Corner and Four Corners.
