About location

Ashland occupies the confluence of the Pemigewasset and Squam rivers in central New Hampshire, on the southern approach to the White Mountains. The town developed around water-powered mills in the nineteenth century, and its river corridor still gives the compact centre a clear sense of place. Ashland is close to Squam Lake, whose shores and surrounding foothills mark the transition from the Lakes Region toward the higher White Mountains. Interstate 93 and US Route 3 make it a practical stop on the state’s north–south route, while local roads soon enter wooded terrain. It is a small community shaped as much by its rivers and lake country as by the mountain routes passing nearby.

City Ashland

Ashland is best known within New Hampshire for its position at the confluence of the Squam and Pemigewasset rivers. The compact town sits in the Lakes Region, with Squam Lake nearby to the southwest and the White Mountains rising farther north, placing it between two defining New Hampshire landscapes. Ashland was incorporated in 1868 from part of Holderness, and its riverside setting shaped an industrial past that used water power. Today, it is a convenient base for exploring lake country, following the riverbanks and heading north towards mountain routes.

Region New Hampshire

New Hampshire occupies a mountainous inland position in the northeastern United States. The White Mountains define much of its northern character, culminating at Mount Washington, whose summit is famed for severe and rapidly changing weather. Southward, the Merrimack River links former mill cities including Manchester and Nashua, while Lake Winnipesaukee anchors the Lakes Region with wooded shores and island-dotted water. The state’s compact scale brings ski country, forest roads, historic seaports and New England town centres within reach of one another. Granite quarrying helped give New Hampshire its familiar nickname, the Granite State. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across New Hampshire.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
