About this map

Swains Lake and Mendums Pond anchor this landscape in southeastern New Hampshire, illustrating a mid-century pattern of residential expansion and recreation. The villages of Barrington and East Barrington are clearly defined alongside institutional landmarks like the UNH Sch of Continuing Studies and the Middle Sch. Numerous family-named hills, including Mount Misery, Sunnyside Hill, and Merry Hill, suggest the deeply rooted local history of the Strafford and Nottingham borderlands.

Transportation routes such as Province Road and McDaniel Shore Road connect established clusters of homes with seasonal camps like Camp Don Bosco. The map documents a variety of small cemeteries and local religious sites, such as Canaan Chapel, providing essential data for genealogists tracing ancestors in the Strafford and Rockingham county line area. Sand and gravel operations near the Bellamy River further denote the area's continued reliance on local geological resources.
