Jaffrey Roads and Streets Were Hand-Drawn by the Author Vincente Drive (Monadnock View Drive) JAFFREY ROADS AND STREETS 1773-1980 by Coburn Kidd Jaffrey Historical Society Jaffrey, New Hampshire ❧ 1982 - i - This edition scanned from the first edition by Savron Graphics. Re-formatted and with corrections and additions by Robert B. Stephenson. Updated property ownership and corrections by Marc P. Tieger and H. Charles Royce. Second edition, revised and expanded 2009 Second printing of 15, September 2009 © Jaffrey Historical Society - ii - This monograph on Jaffrey roads has been published by the Jaffrey Historical Society in memory of Anne Bradley Gordon, a supporter, benefactress, and officer of the Society for many years. - iii - ACKNOWLEDGMENTS PECIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT is made to town historian Alice E. E. Lehtinen, whose monumental Scollection of biographic material in Vol. II of the History of Jaffrey provides a key to the identification of the old roads. It would be almost impossible to give an intelligible account of the roads laid out before 1850 without that information. The task is the easier today thanks to the researches of the committee appointed by the town in 1966 to survey the correct and legal names of the roads and streets in Jaffrey. The town’s official road map is based on the committee’s work. The members of the committee were Miss Lehtinen, Chairman, Professor Norman Torrey, Mr. Homer Belletete, Mrs. Marjorie Shattuck, and Town Clerk Albert Morin. In their assistance to me Mr. Morin, and Mr. Philip St. Pierre during the period when he was Town Clerk, were unfailingly helpful. Mr. Morin possesses an uncanny knowledge of town history and records. Grateful acknowledgment is made to Mr. Homer Belletete for the hours taken from company time to discuss old roads, and to Mr. Marcus Chamberlain, Mrs. Jason Sawyer, Mrs. James B. Perry, Mr. H. Charles Royce Jr., and Mr. Edwin Cutter for valuable advice and information. The kindness of Mr. William Chamberlain and of Mr. Joseph Field in driving me over Class VI roads is matched by their intimate knowledge of the old roads. Warm appreciation is due Mr. Thomas Angeloro for his assistance in bringing out the entire project. Need I add that the tolerance of my wife Mary for the time I have devoted to roads has been a model of affectionate understanding. Coburn Kidd Thorndike Pond Road Jaffrey Center, N. H.

Woodbury Hill Road. .180 ❦ - vii - INTRODUCTION Public Roads N NEW HAMPS H IRE there are four ways by which a town can create a public road: (1) by the Iselectmen’s taking from others’ lands the right of way for such a road (statutory lay-out); (2) by someone’s giving the right of way therefor through his own land (dedication); (3) by the public’s having trod a certain way for twenty years prior to 1968; (4) by the town’s owning the land or an easement therein by deed of the fee, in which case it can do what it pleases. The statute in which these requirements are set forth is Chapter 230, paragraph 1, of the Revised Statutes Annotated (cited as RSA 230:1). Our law on the subject derives from the common law of 18th century England.1 Though procedures were substantially the same, certain differences crept in with the establishment of the Colonies. Highways in England were the responsibility of the parish, except for great roads and turnpikes authorized by Parliament; in New England, the responsibility of the town, subject to the provincial authorities and county court. There roads were laid out by two justices of the peace, here by two selectmen. Roads laid out by the selectmen “in the mode prescribed therefor by statute” rest on an ancient ‘right of passage’ in the public, not on ownership of land. In laying out such a road all the requirements of the statute must be complied with. The procedure is described in RSA 234. It is begun by a petition to the selectmen. The petitioner may not rest.

  • Chapter Xxx Development of Jaffrey As a Recreational Center
    CHAPTER XXX DEVELOPMENT OF JAFFREY AS A RECREATIONAL CENTER SUMMER BUSINESS I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it. SHAKESPEARE. Such were the sentiments of Celia when viewing the Forest of Arden as portrayed by the immortal Bard of Avon in "As You Like It"; and such have been the thoughts of the thousands of visitors who have been attracted to Jaffrey by its Monadnock Mountain, its tree-clad hills, its crystal lakes, its sparkling brooks, and its shady roads. And a goodly proportion of those who have come once to taste those pleasures have returned year after year not only to "waste time," in the words of Celia, but to renew strength and vigor of body and soul by breathing the pure air, tramping over the hills, resting in the cool woods, and bathing in the shining lakes. Neither history nor tradition tell of the beginning of Jaffrey as a pleasure resort, but more than one hundred years ago the town found it necessary to license places of refreshment for mountain visitors (see The Grand Monadnock), as appears from John Fife's advertise­ ment in the New Hampshire Sentinel of August 6, 1824: The subscriber will be ready to wait on who shall visit Monadnock this season after Tuesday next at the brook about one-half hour's walk southeast of the pin­ nacle where he is erecting a sufficient building as shelter from the sun, rain or the chills of night. Tea and coffee, with suitable meats and drinks will be provided. Horses may be left at his house on the turnpike.

  • Official List of Public Waters
    Official List of Public Waters New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Water Division Dam Bureau 29 Hazen Drive PO Box 95 Concord, NH 03302-0095 (603) 271-3406 https://www.des.nh.gov NH Official List of Public Waters Revision Date October 9, 2020 Robert R. Scott, Commissioner Thomas E. O’Donovan, Division Director OFFICIAL LIST OF PUBLIC WATERS Published Pursuant to RSA 271:20 II (effective June 26, 1990) IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use this list for determining water bodies that are subject to the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA). The CSPA list is available on the NHDES website. Public waters in New Hampshire are prescribed by common law as great ponds (natural waterbodies of 10 acres or more in size), public rivers and streams, and tidal waters. These common law public waters are held by the State in trust for the people of New Hampshire. The State holds the land underlying great ponds and tidal waters (including tidal rivers) in trust for the people of New Hampshire. Generally, but with some exceptions, private property owners hold title to the land underlying freshwater rivers and streams, and the State has an easement over this land for public purposes. Several New Hampshire statutes further define public waters as including artificial impoundments 10 acres or more in size, solely for the purpose of applying specific statutes. Most artificial impoundments were created by the construction of a dam, but some were created by actions such as dredging or as a result of urbanization (usually due to the effect of road crossings obstructing flow and increased runoff from the surrounding area).

  • Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES Lakesmart Program
    Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES LakeSmart Program Only with YOUR help will New Hampshire’s lakes remain clean and healthy, now and in the future. The health of our lakes, and our enjoyment of these irreplaceable natural resources, is at risk. Polluted runoff water from the landscape is washing into our lakes, causing toxic algal blooms that make swimming in lakes unsafe. Failing septic systems and animal waste washed off the land are contributing bacteria to our lakes that can make people and pets who swim in the water sick. Toxic products used in the home, on lawns, and on roadways and driveways are also reaching our lakes, poisoning the water in some areas to the point where fish and other aquatic life cannot survive. NH LAKES has found that most property owners don’t know how their actions affect the health of lakes. We’ve also found that property owners want to do the right thing to help keep the lakes they enjoy clean and healthy and that they often need help of professional service providers like YOU! What is LakeSmart? The LakeSmart program is an education, evaluation, and recognition program that inspires property owners to live in a lake- friendly way, keeping our lakes clean and healthy. The program is free, voluntary, and non-regulatory. Through a confidential evaluation process, property owners receive tailored recommendations about how to implement lake-friendly living practices year-round in their home, on their property, and along and on the lake. Property owners have access to a directory of lake- friendly living service providers to help them adopt lake-friendly living practices.
