About this map

Troy serves as the central hub of this Cheshire County landscape, situated where the S Br Ashuelot River and Shaker Brook descend from the surrounding highlands. The map illustrates a region defined by its prominent peaks and water management, featuring several significant hills like Gap Mtn and Little Monadnock Mtn. To the south, Fitzwilliam and Fitzwilliam Depot anchor the lower portion of the sheet, connected by a network of rural roads such as RT-12 and Jaffrey Rd.

Evidence of historical industry and local community is found in the varied named features, from the Bellows Falls Canal and West Hill Reservoir to smaller hamlets like Bowkerville and Rockwood. Genealogists and historians may find interest in the location of Pine Grove Cem near Horseshoe Pond, or tracing family-named landmarks like Brennan Hill and Bigelow Hill. The terrain is punctuated by numerous brooks and ponds, including Bowker Pond and Rockwood Pond, which have long shaped the settlement patterns of this New Hampshire corridor.
