About this map

Deering and East Deering anchor this southern New Hampshire landscape, where the Piscataquog River and its south branch wind through a series of significant hills and basins. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Gregg Hill, Locke Hill, and the curiously named Mount Misery. A complex network of water bodies, including the Weare Reservoir and Deering Reservoir, reflects a history of local water management and recreation.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-placed burial grounds, including Dow Cem, Bartlett Cem, and South Quaker Cem near Clinton Grove. The presence of small named settlements like Sodom, Slab City, and Chase Village suggests older localized identities that persisted alongside the larger township centers. Modern features such as the All Seasons Campground and a network of secondary roads like Old Francestown Rd and 2nd NH Tpke N show how the area transition into its twenty-first-century role as a quiet residential and recreational corridor.
