== Geography == Clarksville is bordered to the north and west by [[Pittsburg, New Hampshire|Pittsburg]], and to the west by one mile of waterfront on the [[Connecticut River]] (across from the village of [[Beecher Falls, Vermont|Beecher Falls]], in the town of [[Canaan, Vermont]]). The [[45th parallel north]] passes through the town. [[New Hampshire Route 145]] traverses the western end of the township, running south from Pittsburg village into Stewartstown. Prior to the construction of [[U.S. Route 3]] along the Connecticut River, this was the only road north to Pittsburg. According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the town has a total area of {{convert|161.5|km2|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|156.3|km2|order=flip}} are land and {{convert|5.2|km2|order=flip}} are water, comprising 3.24% of the town.<ref name="CenPopGazetteer2021"/> The highest point in Clarksville is Crystal Mountain, at {{convert|3230|ft|m}} above [[sea level]], near the town's southern border. Significant water bodies include portions of [[Lake Francis (Murphy Dam)|Lake Francis]], Clarksville Pond, Carr Pond and Dead Water Stream. The western two-thirds of Clarksville lies within the Connecticut River [[Drainage basin|watershed]] and the eastern third in the [[Androscoggin River]] watershed.<ref name=watershed>{{cite book |title=Water Use in New Hampshire: An Activities Guide for Teachers |url=http://nh.water.usgs.gov/Publications/nh.intro.html |last=Foster |first=Debra H. |author2=Batorfalvy, Tatianna N. |author3= Medalie, Laura |publisher=U.S. Department of the Interior and U.S. Geological Survey |year=1995}}</ref> Clarksville's town hall, elevation {{convert|1980|ft}}, is the highest town hall in the state. (The town hall of [[Washington, New Hampshire|Washington]] is located at a lower elevation—{{convert|1507|ft}}—but has other village development there, and is therefore the highest town center in the state.) ===Adjacent municipalities=== * [[Pittsburg, New Hampshire|Pittsburg]] (north) * [[Atkinson and Gilmanton Academy Grant, New Hampshire|Atkinson and Gilmanton Academy Grant]] (east) * [[Dix's Grant, New Hampshire|Dix's Grant]] (southeast) * [[Dixville, New Hampshire|Dixville]] (south) * [[Stewartstown, New Hampshire|Stewartstown]] (southwest) * [[Canaan, Vermont]] (west)
