About this map

The Suncook River and Merrimack River converge near the industrial hub of Suncook, defining a landscape where early 20th-century transportation and local industry meet. This 1917 and 1919 survey, reprinted in 1947, details the transition from riverside mills to the rugged uplands of Nottingham Mountain and Fort Mtn. The Boston and Maine Railroad follows the river valleys, connecting major settlements like Hooksett and Manchester to the surrounding hills.

Genealogists will find a high density of named schools and rural markers, from the Buck Street School in Allenstown to the Martins Ferry School near the river. Notable landmarks like the Sanitarium near Pembroke Hill and the State Rifle Range on Mt Miner provide specific insights into the institutional and military character of the area during the interwar period. The presence of the Brickyard near The Pinnacle highlights the local extraction and manufacturing that supported the growth of the Merrimack valley towns.
