2012 Map of Peterborough North
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
The MacDowell Colony stands as a prominent cultural landmark in this southern New Hampshire landscape, situated just north of West Peterborough. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Contoocook River and its accompanying Contoocook River Reservoir, while the village of Hancock serves as a northern anchor near Norway Pond. This area preserves a high density of burial grounds, including Norway Plain Cem, Pine Ridge Cem, and Saint Peters Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The map also reveals the rural settlement patterns of Elmwood and North Village, alongside recreational sites like Otter Lake and the Boston University Sargent Camp near Half Moon Pond. Transport and community life are marked by features such as the Hancock-Greenfield Bridge and the John Hancock Grange.
