2012 Map of Webster

About this map

Webster and its surrounding rural landscapes in Merrimack County are defined by the winding course of the Blackwater River and the Warner River to the south. This region is characterized by established agrarian properties such as Richardson's Farm and the Merrimack County Farm, along with several concentrated crossroads like Dingit Corner and Gerrish Corner. The topography is punctuated by numerous family-named peaks, including Corser Hill, Snyders Hill, and Knowlton Hill, which offer context for the settlement patterns of central New Hampshire. Genealogists can find significant value in the distribution of several local burial grounds, including Beaverdam Cem, Maplewood Cem, and Riverdale Cem. Water features like Lake Winnepocket and the smaller Walker Pond dominate the western and central portions of the map, while the eastern edge is shaped by the wide Merrimack River near Gerrish.
