Additional Information
In 1889, the traveling view-maker George E. Norris drew Henniker, New Hampshire, from up above the Contoocook River. The stream winds through the middle of the town, its banks lined with mills, while church spires, clustered houses, and the railroad fan out across the valley floor.
Norris mapped hundreds of American towns this way, perched at a vantage no one could truly reach. Henniker was a working river town: the Contoocook powered a paper mill, a shoe factory, grist mills, and a woodenware works, each set down in miniature along the water.
Settled in the 1750s and named for a London merchant, Henniker had grown up around the tumbling Contoocook. Paper from the West Henniker mill shipped out by rail, and the map marks churches, an academy, a hotel, and the Mink Hills rolling away to the south.
Today this bird's-eye view stands as a testament to a former New England of water-powered mills and country academies and offers a window into Henniker as the railroad age transformed it. Its close-packed rooftops and river bends make it a prized memento for a study, library, or hall.
