About this map

Deering and its surrounding hill country in the late 20th century exhibit a landscape defined by glacial topography and early New England settlement patterns. Numerous family-named summits such as Goodale Hill, Gregg Hill, and Toby Hill punctuate the terrain, while water bodies like the Deering Reservoir and Weare Reservoir provide significant hydrological markers. The map details small, established clusters like Chase Village, Slab City, and Clinton Grove, reflecting a distributed rural population tied to the land.

Conservation areas are prominent, including the Vincent State Forest and the Piscataquog River Town Forest, protecting the riparian corridor of the Piscataquog River. Notable ecological features like Squamscot Bog and the Perkins Pond State Wildlife Management Area indicate a commitment to preserving the natural character of the region amidst light infrastructure, such as the major Transmission Line traversing the hills.
