Jaffrey Portion of the 1892 Town and City Atlas of the State of New Hampshire

The Town and City Atlas of the State of New Hampshire contains three maps of Jaffrey: One covers the entire town and the others are inset maps of what are now Downtown Jaffrey and Jaffrey Center..

The townwide map shows a development pattern that is considerably more dispersed than today and a more extensive road system to serve it. Roads are shown that today are either no longer passable or go nowhere. The East Jaffrey inset map is almost identical with its 1877 counterpart with the exception of some additional in-fill development, probably representing most of the town’s total residential growth in the 1880s. The Center shows almost no change at all.
