About this map

The Blackwater River and Merrimack River define this corner of New Hampshire, where the town of Webster meets the corporate boundaries of Concord. This survey, based on imagery from the late 20th century, illustrates a landscape heavily managed for water control and conservation, anchored by the Blackwater Dam and several state-managed wildlands including the Kimball State Wildlife Management Area.

Genealogists and local historians can trace small rural clusters like Dingit Corner and Gerrish Corner, alongside the sites of early industry such as Swetts Mills and Snyders Mill. The terrain is marked by family-named heights like Corser Hill, Putney Hill, and Knowlton Hill, which overlook the significant waters of Lake Winnepocket and the elongated Pillsbury Lake. The presence of the State Forest Nursery and several state forests highlights the region's enduring character as a preserved timber and watershed area.
