About this map

Wentworth and the surrounding rural townships of North Dorchester and Dorchester occupy this corner of Grafton County, characterized by the winding path of the Baker River. The river system, including the S Br Baker River and Brackett Brook, shapes the settlement patterns, with roads like Ellsworth Hill Rd and River Rd following the natural contours of the valley. Small mountain peaks such as Streeter Mountain and Ames Mountain rise above the scattered homesteads and local roads.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Pleasant View Cem and North Groton Cem, while the modern landscape includes the small Wentworth Aerodrome near the village center. A unique detail on the map is Hearse House Rd near Cheever, a name that hints at the community history of the area. The map illustrates a quiet, residential and agricultural mountain region just before the mid-2010s, with many family-named landmarks like Bailey Hill and Hooper Hill Rd still prominent.
