This is an 1842 J. Hoar and F. Mead wall-sized city plan or map of Nashua and Nashville, New Hampshire, and one of the first large-scale commercial map of the city. The Nashua River bisects Nashua and Nashville, with a bridge, labeled 'Main Street,' connecting the two. Streets throughout both villages are identified. Individual buildings are also illustrated, and over forty of these are numerically labeled. The corresponding index, situated in the upper right corner, lists the 1st Congregational Church and several other churches, a handful of schoolhouses, and several other locations around town. Only the cemetery, burial site, Nashua Mills, and the canal basin are directly labeled on the map; all other specific sites bear a number. 'Sandy Pond' and the surrounding forest are attractively illustrated in the lower-left corner, and Salmon Brook and the Mill Pond occupy space along the bottom border. The Merrimack River flows from top to bottom along the right side. (more details)
