About this map

The Suncook River winds through a landscape defined by traditional New Hampshire land divisions and river-based settlement. Along the western edge, the confluence of the Suncook River and the Merrimack River supports the industrial and residential centers of Suncook and Allenstown. Education and community life are anchored by landmarks such as Pembroke Academy and the Congregational Center, while the township of Pembroke is further marked by its distinctive range roads, including Eighth Range Road and Sixth Range Road.

Transitioning from the valley floors, the terrain rises toward Plausawa Hill and Garvin Hill, where older rural patterns persist at Horse Corner. Conservation and recreation are prominent in the eastern reaches, represented by the expansive Bear Brook State Park and Taylor State Forest. This survey captures a moment of suburban expansion around Concord while documenting established local institutions like St Michaels Ch and various family burial grounds including Stanley Cem and Knowlton Cem.
