About this map

The Sugar River cuts through the northern edge of this Sullivan County landscape, anchoring the industrial and residential corridors of Claremont. The terrain quickly rises south of the city into a series of named heights such as Bible Hill and Fifield Hill, where small, dispersed settlements like Puckershire and West Unity are situated along winding country roads. This modern mapping effort preserves the location of numerous burial grounds essential for genealogical research, including the Sullivan County Farm Cem and the Quaker City Cem.

Water features dominate the lower elevations, from the Tyler Reservoir near the city center to the recreation-focused Crescent Lake in the southeast. The area around Quaker City reflects a rural settlement pattern defined by the drainage of Swett Brook and Chase Brook. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from the municipal infrastructure of Claremont Municipal Airport to the quiet wooded hills of Unity Mtn and Gove Hill.
