This beautifully designed map of Orford, 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 Gilmans Corner and Merriwood Camp comes straight from United States Geological Survey elevation data, and every street name was taken from Census Bureau files, from Gov Meldrim Thomson Scenic Highway down to smaller roads such as Dyke Drive.
Local buildings and landmarks such as Orford Town Offices and Orford Congregational Church, 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 Orford 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.
