The following images are taken from John Dearborn, “The History of Salisbury, New Hampshire.”
Bean Hill, abt 774 ft., coordinates 43.3454,-71.7837
Sawyer Hill, at 1,821 ft., Coordinates 43.3515,-71.8262
On the side of Mount Kearsarge, there was once a Salisbury settlement known as the Watson District, located along the incline leading up to Kearsarge. The Sawyers, who lived below in Salisbury, used the slopes for grazing their sheep. Sawyer’s Hill, which may also be called Bald Hill, is partially situated in Warner.
Calef Hill, about 950 feet
Calef Hill Road, located in Salisbury off Rabbit Road, used to connect to Route 4. At the top lies Calef Hill, rising along Route 4 behind the Veterinary Office, just before the Boscawen line.
Garland Hill, abt 825 feet
Located just off Whittemore and Center Road, it is likely named after Moses Garland.
Loverin Hill, abt 925 ft, coordinates 43.3859,-71.7623
Loverin Hill Road (Old Center Rangeway)
Raccoon Hill and Shaw Hill, abt 1,200 ft.
These days, most people think of Shaw Hill as the place where the current Shaws live along North Road. But old-timers know that Shaw Hill is actually Raccoon Hill, where the earlier Shaw homesteads were located. That’s why the road from the Andover side leading up to “Raccoon Hill” is called Shaw Hill Road, even though it goes to Raccoon Hill and not North Road!
Sanborn Hill
It’s unclear if it was ever officially a town name, but it’s mentioned in They Said It In Salisbury as a sledding spot leading into West Salisbury. One theory places it along West Salisbury Road near an old Sanborn homestead. Another suggests it’s on Old Turnpike Road and is named after Joanne Young Sanborn Hodges, a long-time resident whose property bordered the road. There’s also mention of an early proprietor named Sanborn who owned land up to the heights. Any thoughts?
Searles Hill, abt 1,075 ft.
The high point on the Center Rangeway was where the earliest Salisbury Meetinghouse and settlement were located. The road leading up is the Center Rangeway, though it now seems to veer off course. It can be found on Route 127 in Franklin near Easy Street. At one time, it extended to the river, much like the South Rangeway, as part of Salisbury. It was named after the Reverend who preached there. Shaw Hill same as Raccoon Hill, abt 1,200 feet
Switch Hill, 725 ft.
Perhaps known only to old-timers and historians of deeds, Gerrish Road takes a sharp turn and descends into Boscawen.
