About this map

Candia and its surrounding hamlets of Candia Four Corners and East Candia define the central landscape of this southern New Hampshire region. The terrain is marked by a network of local roads and recreational corridors, most notably the Rockingham Recreational Rail Trl which traverses the southern half of the map. This corridor passes through the historic village centers, reflecting the area's transition from a railroad-dependent economy to one focused on recreation and rural residential living.

To the southwest, the waters of Massabesic Lake and Tower Hill Pond anchor the drainage of several small brooks including Hook Brook and Little Massabesic Brook. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are more topographic, featuring Bear Hill and the Bear Brook drainage, where old cemeteries like Woodman Cem and Batchelder Cem provide quiet markers of early families. Cleary Airport near Auburn serves as a modern landmark amidst these traditional settlements.
