About this map

Claremont sits at the northern edge of this Sullivan County landscape, where the Sugar River and its accompanying reservoir system historically powered the region's development. The transition from the urban grid of the city, marked by streets like Chestnut St and Pleasant St, into the high ridges of the interior reveals a pattern of dispersed upland settlements and named summits. Small communities such as Puckershire, West Unity, and the curiously named Quaker City are scattered among the hills, connected by old routes like the 2nd NH Tpke.

The terrain is defined by prominent elevations including Unity Mtn and Fifield Hill, which overlook a network of drainages such as the Little Sugar River and Chase Brook. At the southern end of the sheet, Crescent Lake serves as a significant local landmark. This 2015 update documents the contemporary footprint of the Claremont Municipal Airport and preservation of local history at sites like the Hubbard Cem.
