About this map

Bear Brook State Park dominates the northern reaches of this Rockingham County landscape, where the Merrimack Co Rockingham Co line divides the hills. The regional transport network of the late 1960s is anchored by the Boston and Maine Railroad, which cuts a path through Hooks Crossing and East Candia. To the south, the waters of Massabesic Lake and Little Massabesic Lake define the terrain near Auburn.

Settlement patterns reveal a series of historic clusters, including Candia Four Corners and South Deerfield, linked by rural routes like Adams Rd and Boston Road. Local civic life is marked by the Moore Sch and the Holbrook Cem, while the industrial footprint is visible in the numerous Gravel Pits scattered near Preston. This topography shows a community balanced between its wooded uplands and the emerging infrastructure of the mid-century.
