1953 Map of Windham

About this map

The rolling hills of southern New Hampshire are prominently marked by the intersection of rail history and community development in this 1950s study. The Boston and Maine Railroad cuts through the landscape, serving the local economy at Windham Depot. The map reveals a high density of ancestral sites, notably the Cemetery On the Plains and Cemetery On the Hill, along with smaller burial grounds like Glenwood Cem. The presence of the Searles Sch and St Matthew Ch reflects the social infrastructure of the time, while the waters of Cobbetts Pond and Canobie Lake define the eastern leisure and residential landscape. Numerous family-named landmarks such as Butterfield Rock and Jennys Hill provide specific points of interest for local historians tracking the physical geography of Windham and Londonderry.
