This 1887 bird's-eye panorama shows Penacook, the village on the Contoocook River that is now part of Concord, New Hampshire. Its layout follows the river, where falls and mill sites drew manufacturing to the community in the 19th century. L. R. Burleigh drew many such panoramic maps of American towns in the 1870s and 1880s, showing streets, buildings, and rail lines from an angled, elevated viewpoint. The map is a useful record of how a small mill village was arranged when such views were a popular way to picture a community.
