Excerpt from Land Utilization in New Hampshire, Vol. 1: Problems in the Back Highland Areas of Southern Grafton County In an era of expanding standards of living, each year has brought a lower living content to many families and in contrast to more favored locations they have been especially handicapped by declining yields, inadequate markets, poor roads, lack of resources and in many instances by a psychological defeatist attitude. Partial abandonment of locations has resulted in serious maladjustments in public services, and this in turn has tended to check the development of potential resources. It is very easy for a state, absorbed in the progress of the expanding and developing portions of its agriculture and the growing demands of its industry, to ignore and leave untouched the areas that fall behind.

An examination of the present land use indicated many areas in New Hampshire in which little or no commercial agriculture appears. (note the white areas in Fig Some of these areas were never cleared and settled, being for the most part mountainous and non agricultural. Other areas were at one time thickly populated and farmed, but have declined greatly in both population and agricultural activity since 1860.
