This map shows the extent of the 20.1 miles of the Warner River from its headwaters at Todd Lake in Bradford to Contoocook where it flows into the Contoocook River in the vicinity of the Contoocook Post Office. Segments of the river are classified by the nature and present uses of the land as defined in the map key, those being Rural Community River, Rural River, Community River, and Rural River.
Water Resources
This map quantifies the ability of underground water resources (aquifers) to transmit water into the river system from rainfall, measured in feet squared per day. The map also indicates the position of public wells and dams along The Warner River. About 38% of the water used in New Hampshire comes from these underground resources.

Some species need to live in very close proximity to the river itself, some range a considerable distance from the river but are still very dependent upon it. Some species are considered to be endangered in New Hampshire.
