About this map

The confluence of the Blackwater River and the Warner River defines this New Hampshire landscape as it was mapped in the late 1980s. The region is marked by small settlements and historic crossroads such as Dingit Corner, Gerrish Corner, and Swetts Mills. The presence of the Blackwater Dam near the town of Webster reflects the management of the water system, while large bodies of water like Lake Winnepocket and Walker Pond punctuate the wooded terrain.

Evidence of historical transportation and industry is visible in the Concord and Claremont RR Grade and the State Forest Nursery. Significant state-managed lands, including the Merrimack River State Forest and the Hirst State Wildlife Management Area, illustrate a land-use pattern focused on conservation and forestry. In the southeast, the Contoocook River winds toward the Concord Corporate Boundary, connecting these rural outposts to the state capital's fringe.
