About this map

Swains Lake and Mendums Pond dominate the central landscape of this early 1980s survey, illustrating a region defined by its abundant water bodies and wooded hills. The map highlights the rural character of southeastern New Hampshire, where small settlements like West Barrington and East Barrington are connected by historic routes such as Province Road and Longmarsh Road. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations including Mount Misery, Huckleberry Hill, and Bumfagging Hill.

Genealogical and local history details are plentiful, featuring numerous small cemeteries like Capon Cem and Pine Grove Cem, alongside community landmarks such as Canaan Chapel and Camp Don Bosco. The map also captures the ecological and recreational value of the area, showing the Nottingham State Forest and the UNH Recreation Area, while the Isinglass River and Bellamy River weave through the township boundaries of Strafford, Barrington, and Nottingham.
