1921 Map of Suncook

About this map

The Merrimack River and the Suncook River converge at the industrial village of Suncook, defining a landscape where river-powered manufacturing and early rail corridors meet the uplands. This 1921 survey illustrates a transition from the dense mills and residential blocks of Allenstown and Pembroke to the rural schools and family-named hilltops of Candia and Epsom. The transportation network is remarkably detailed, featuring the Suncook Valley RR alongside the Concord and Manchester Electric Road, indicating the peak of the interurban trolley era. Notable landmarks like the Sanitarium near Pembroke Hill and the State Rifle Range at Mt Miner highlight the institutional and military uses of the surrounding terrain. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for dozens of rural institutions, from the New Orchard School in the north to the Candia Post Office and Station in the south.
