TOPOGRAPHICAL MAPS OF THE STATE. 235 



and county lines are given for Rockingham, Hillsborough, Cheshire, 

 Strafford, Grafton, and Coos. 



Taking the town improvements over Holland's map by counties, it may 

 be said of Rockingham that Canterbury and Chichester have been 

 divided; Sandovvn, East Kingston, and Hawke (Danville) have been 

 taken out of Kingston ; Atkinson and Windham are eliminated ; and the 

 shore towns have their boundaries inserted. In Hillsborough, Mont 

 Vernon and Milford came essentially from Amherst ; Raby has become 

 Brookline; Derryfield, Manchester; Peterborough Slip, Sharon. Only a 

 half township of the "Society Land" is left unassigned. Warner, New 

 London, Wilmot, Andover, and Sutton have received their present names. 

 In Cheshire, Marlborough, Roxbury, Sullivan, Langdon, Washington, 

 Goshen, and Springfield make their appearance for the first time. The 

 present town of Sunapee is called Wendell. 



In Strafford, Somersworth has a name ; Rochester is divided as now. 

 East Town becomes Wakefield ; Ossipee, Center Harbor, Alton, Brook- 

 field, New Hampton, and Burton (Albany) have an existence, because 

 incorporated since 1784. In Grafton, Lebanon receives a name; Relhan 

 becomes Enfield; Cardigan, Orange; Cockermouth, Groton; Trecothick 

 and Fairfield are merged into Ellsworth, Peeling (Woodstock), and Coven- 

 try (Benton); Franconia and Lincoln are properly divided; Lisbon has 

 the name of Concord ; and Lyman, remains as before, including the 

 present town of Monroe. In Coos, Chatham, Adams (Jackson), Bartlett, 

 Success, and Dixville are new townships. Shelburne is not divided as on 

 Holland's; Dalton has been separated from Littleton (Apthorp); and 

 there are six grants not previously mentioned. The names of Jefferson, 

 Stratford, and Columbia are also new. 



Both maps show the supposed course of the "ancient Masonian curve 

 line." This will not be reproduced on the new map, as it has ceased to 

 be of any practical importance, though it has apparently determined the 

 west town lines of Fitzwilliam, Stoddard, and Washington. 



Carrigain's map shows the population in figures engraved upon the face 

 of each town. Kearsarge is applied where it belongs ; and, in Chatham, 

 Pigwacket mountain is said to have been formerly called Kiarsarge. There 

 is an improvement over existing usage in regard to the Merrimack river. 

 It is made to rise at the foot of Mt. Willey, and the name Merrimack is
