About this map

Peterborough and its neighboring villages in the Monadnock Region are defined here by a mid-century landscape of deep valleys, glacial ponds, and the winding paths of the Contoocook River and Souhegan River. The map illustrates the cultural significance of the area, featuring the renowned MacDowell Colony and the Edward MacDowell Grave near West Peterborough. Transportation is dominated by the Boston and Maine Railroad, which links manufacturing hubs like Greenville and Wilton Center to the broader New England corridor.
