About this map

The Sugar River valley and its surrounding highlands define this southern Sullivan County landscape, where the manufacturing legacy of Claremont meets the rural uplands of Unity. The northern edge of the map shows the transition from industrial infrastructure to residential development, marked by landmarks like Stevens High Sch and St Marys Ch. Moving south, the terrain climbs toward Unity Mountain, interspersed with historic hamlets such as Quaker City and West Unity.

A notable network of family-named peaks, including Fifield Hill, Pike Hill, and Gilddens Hill, suggests a long history of upland farming. Evidence of the region’s transport and institutional history is preserved in labels for the Old Railroad Grade and the County Home near Quabbinight Brook. Recreation and conservation are prominent in the southwest, where the Hubbard Hill State Forest and several ponds provide a contrast to the gravel pits and urban corridors to the north.
