Southern New Hampshire, published in 1871 by the New Hampshire Fire Insurance Co., is a regional map rather than a town plan, offering the southern part of the state in a single view. Insurance firms of the period relied on maps like this to understand the towns where they wrote policies and the roads and rail lines that linked them. The date falls in the years after the Civil War, when railroads were binding New Hampshire's mill towns and farming villages more closely to Boston and other markets. Its reduced format makes it a compact record of the region's layout on the eve of further industrial growth.
