The Contoocook River serves as the industrial and transit spine for this region of Hillsboro County at the close of the 19th century. The village of Peterboro stands as a central hub, where the Peterboro Br of the Boston and Maine RR connects local commerce to the wider rail network. Further south, the Fitchburg RR traverses the landscape near New Ipswich and High Bridge, underscoring the era's dependence on rail for movement through the steep terrain.
