This vintage map of Henniker, New Hampshire was created in 1889 and shows the town from an elevated vantage point.

About This Historic Map
Drawn from an elevated bird's-eye perspective, this map presents Henniker in the late 1880s, when the area was shaped by its river mills, churches, farms, and small-town commerce. The overall view sweeps across green hills and the river valley, capturing homes, tree-lined lanes, and the working heart of the village clustered along the water.
Notable landmarks shown on the map include the Congregational Church, the Methodist Church, the Universalist Church, the Academy, the schools, the Town Hall, the Post Office, the Contoocook Valley Paper Co., the Contoocook River, and West Henniker, along with many of the historic roads and farms that shaped life around Henniker in the era.
For anyone who grew up in Henniker, has family roots along the Contoocook River, or still calls this New Hampshire town home, this map is more than a historic view. It captures the churches on the hill, the mills by the water, and the quiet farm lanes, and the memories that keep families connected to Henniker.
