The Wapack Range of New Hampshire and Massachusetts photographed from Buck Hill.

I originally created this panorama for the documentary film I made last year. Until recently, I had only identified the major peaks that are visible in this image. This now identifies and labels all of the visible peaks of the Wapack Range, which is generally considered to start with Mount Watatic in Massachusetts and continue north to North Pack Monadnock in New Hampshire. There are also three Massachusetts peaks at the leftmost side of the image which are not considered part of the range, as well as Mount Monadnock, which towers above New Ipswich Mountain almost directly behind it. I have added labels. The view is generally looking north-west with a range of about 305 - 320 degrees.

In the foreground are the TV towers located in the Needham/Newtown Highlands. There is another cluster of four towers below North Pack which are just off I-95 in Waltham MA. Several buildings on the campus of Brandeis University are visible to the lower left of these towers.

#PeterboroughNH - #MAXTMakerspace #RepairCafe - March 14, 2026

Every Second Saturday
10 AM - 2 PM

MAXT Makerspace:
Noone Falls, 50 Jaffrey Road, Peterborough, NH, 03458

"What do you do with a broken toaster? Or with a bike when the wheel runs out of alignment? Or with a sweater full of moth holes? MAxT is organizing New Hampshire's first Repair Cafe on the 2nd Saturday of each month to help you fix what's broken.

Our volunteer repair experts will be available to help you make all possible repairs. Tools and materials will also be on hand. You can bring your broken items from home. Repair stations will include small electronics, clothing, bikes, furniture, toys and jewelry - anything that is broken is welcome and more than likely can be repaired!

By promoting repairs, MAxT MAkerspace wants to help reduce mountains of waste, put neighbors in touch with each other in a new way and discover that a lot of know-how and practical skills can be found close to home.

The event is free but donations to the repair cafe are encouraged to keep this event going."

Pack Monadnock Mountain, Peterborough and Temple NH photographed from Buck Hill.

To the left of the frame is a water tower, 307 Country Club Rd, Newton MA. Below the water tower there are four houses on Vershire St, West Roxbury MA.

Not 100% sure, but I think the water tower right under the mountain summit is near 102 Townsend St in Pepperell MA.

To the right of the frame is a water tower, Overlook Drive, Weston MA and a cell tower, West Newton Commuter Parking, 187 Webster St, Newton MA

Oft overlooked, Pack Monadnock and North Pack Monadnock are a great pear of mountains neighboring the more celebrated mountain peak of Mount Monadnock. Our article maps the trails, and describes our favorite routes.
