1900 Map of Peterboro

USGS Topo · Published 1914

About this map

The Contoocook River and Souhegan River carve through this upland landscape of southern New Hampshire, anchoring a series of mill villages and mountain settlements. Two distinct lines of the Boston and Maine RR (Peterboro Branch) and Keene Branch converge at Peterboro, illustrating the region's late 19th-century reliance on rail for commerce and travel. The terrain is dominated by the massive ridge of Pack Monadnock Mountain, where General Miller Park sits near the summit, and the long profile of Temple Mountain to the south. Small hamlets like West Peterboro, Noone, and South Lyndeboro appear as clusters of activity along the waterways, while the presence of Lithia Spring near Temple suggests the era's local interest in mineral waters. The map captures a transition between the industrial valley floors and the scattered hill farms surrounding landmarks like Crotched Mountain and Barrett Mountain.
