This beautifully designed map of Plainfield, New Hampshire was created by KNOWOL in 2026. It shows the town and its streets as they look in the modern day, combining topographical data with the beautiful aesthetic of vintage atlases. The map was built from public survey records and professional geographic data that modern day cartographers rely on. The shaded terrain around Hell Hollow and Mill Village comes straight from United States Geological Survey elevation data, and every street name was taken from Census Bureau files, from Stage Road down to smaller roads such as King Drive.
Local historical buildings and landmarks such as Blow-Me-Down Grange and Meriden Town Hall were confirmed against the National Park Service and the National Register of Historic Places, while local features such as Plainfield Town Hall and Philip Read Memorial Library, along with the paths, parks, and points of interest, come from OpenStreetMap, a database of local knowledge kept current by people who live in and know the area.
The combination of modern data with a vintage historical map aesthetic creates a one-of-a-kind piece made for people who call Plainfield home. It is a memory of the town, as it is today. You can zoom in on the map below to explore the details, or click here to purchase a print for your home.
