Hancock and Peterborough anchor this New England landscape, where the Contoocook River winds through a valley defined by small historic settlements and extensive water features. The map highlights the renowned MacDowell Colony, an important cultural landmark, along with several outlying communities such as North Village and West Peterborough. Cultural and genealogical history is well-represented by a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Norway Plain Cemetery, Pine Hill Cemetery, and Saint Peters Cemetery New.
