Exploring Troy's Geography
This CDP is located right in the middle of the town of Troy. It sits in a valley near the South Branch Ashuelot River. Smaller streams like Rockwood Brook and Nester Brook also join the river here. All these waters flow into the larger Connecticut River system.
The CDP stretches north along Marlboro Road. On its western side, it includes homes on Old Whitcomb Road and Deacon's Lane. It then goes down Milind Lane to High Street and Richmond Road. The border turns southeast along a small brook to Nester Brook, following it east to Rockwood Brook.
The CDP's border also runs south along Rockwood Brook. It then cuts east, south of Memorial Drive, to Main Street. From there, it follows Main Street south to a power line near the Fitzwilliam town line. The eastern part of the CDP follows the South Branch of the Ashuelot River north. It goes all the way to Monadnock Street near the town center. Then it follows Dort Street before returning to the South Branch and the old railroad line back to Marlboro Road.
New Hampshire Route 12 is the main road that goes through Troy. This road can take you about 9 miles (14 km) northwest to Keene. If you head southeast, it's about 12 miles (19 km) to Winchendon, Massachusetts.
The U.S. Census Bureau states that the Troy CDP covers a total area of 1.28 square miles (3.3 square kilometers). All of this area is land, except for the small streams and rivers.
