1965 Map of Townsend

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Squannacook River carves a valley through this landscape, serving as the historical industrial corridor for Townsend and its neighboring villages. The Boston and Maine Railroad follows the river's path, connecting the primary settlements of West Townsend and Townsend Harbor. These villages grew around the water's power, evidenced by features like Cider Mill Pond and Harbor Pond. To the north, the terrain crosses into New Hampshire, where Potanipo Pond and South Brookline define the borderlands. The map reveals a community structured by education and remembrance, featuring the Spaulding Mem Sch and Daniels Academy, alongside several established burial grounds including Hillside Cem and Riverside Cem. Large tracts of the Townsend State Forest illustrate the preservation of the area's timbered hills and wetlands like Dead Swamp.
