About this map

Cobbetts Pond and Canobie Lake define the social and physical landscape of this southern New Hampshire region, which was undergoing significant post-war modernization at the time of this survey. The presence of the Boston and Maine railroad line through Windham Depot reflects a lingering rail economy, while the emergence of residential clusters around the lakefronts shows the area's transition into a more populated community.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the specific placement of community landmarks, including the St Matthew Ch and the Searles Sch. Historic burial grounds such as Cemetery On the Plains and Cemetery On the Hill are clearly marked, alongside old crossroads like Peppermint Corner. The terrain is characterized by named outcrops and hills like Butterfield Rock and Ryan Hill, situated between the drainage of Beaver Brook and Golden Brook.
