1995 Map of Barrington

About this map

Swains Lake and the complex waterways of the Isinglass River drainage define this section of the New Hampshire interior during the late twentieth century. The map reveals a landscape heavily influenced by the University of New Hampshire, noting the UNH Recreation Area at Mendums Pond and the UNH Sch of Continuing Studies further south. Settlement is concentrated around the historic hubs of Barrington and East Barrington, while the surrounding terrain is marked by family-named landmarks like Berrys Hill and Nippo Hill. The presence of multiple cemeteries, including Pine Grove Cem, and public lands such as the Nottingham State Forest suggest a community balancing conservation with its colonial-era roots. Numerous trailer parks and campgrounds near water bodies like Ayers Pond reflect the region's enduring role as a destination for outdoor recreation and seasonal residency.
