About this map

The Merrimack River and Suncook River define the industrial and transit corridors of this region during the early twentieth century. Extensive rail infrastructure, including the Boston and Maine Railroad, Suncook Valley RR, and the Concord and Manchester Electric Road, connects major hubs like Suncook and Hooksett. The landscape is a mix of river-valley industry and upland farmsteads, evidenced by a dense network of local landmarks such as the Brickyard and the Sanitarium near Pembroke.

Educational and social life is recorded through numerous district schools, from the Borough School to the Patten Hill School. In the south, Massabesic Lake and Little Massabesic Lake dominate the terrain near Auburn, while the State Rifle Range near Mt Miner reflects specialized land use of the era. The presence of settlements like Gossville, Short Falls, and Candia shows a well-established rural economy linked by the State Road and early motor routes like the Turnpike.
