2015 Map of Webster

About this map

The Merrimack River and Blackwater River converge in this region of Merrimack County, shaping a landscape of steep hills and numerous water bodies. Several established settlements appear, including Webster, Boscawen, and the crossroad hamlets of Dingit Corner and Gerrish Corner. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, identifying numerous family-named landmarks such as Corser Hill and Morse Hill, along with five distinct burial grounds including Beaverdam Cem and Riverdale Cem. To the west, the expansive Lake Winnepocket is a central feature, while the southeastern corner is defined by the Contoocook River near Davisville. The proximity of sites like Swetts Mills to the winding riverbanks suggests a history of small-scale industry driven by the local waterways during this period of New Hampshire's development.
