2024 Map of Webster

About this map

The Merrimack River and Contoocook River define the eastern and southern edges of this rural New Hampshire landscape, where the town of Webster and the village of Boscawen are connected by a network of winding backroads and hills. The terrain is notably marked by family-named landmarks like Corser Hill, Snyders Hill, and Putney Hill, reflecting deep-rooted settlement patterns. A high concentration of historic burial sites, such as the New Hampshire State Veterans Cem and Merrimack County Farm Cem, provides significant value for genealogical research. The Northern Rail Trl follows the river corridor near Gerrish, repurposed from its earlier industrial life. Water remains central to the area's layout, from the recreational waters of Lake Winnepocket to the Blackwater River, which passes through Swetts Mills before joining the larger regional waterways near Davisville.
