2018 Map of Derry

About this map

Derry and its surrounding hamlets show a landscape shaped by glacial deposits and colonial settlement patterns. The concentration of historical burial grounds, including Forest Hill Cem near East Derry and Long Meadow Cem to the north, indicates the deep roots of these Rockingham County communities. The terrain is characterized by a series of drumlin-like rises such as Bunker Hill and Mine Hill, which overlook a network of water bodies like Beaver Lake and the expansive Massabesic Lake. The settlement at Wilson and the cluster of homes at Derry Village reflect the 21st-century residential density filling the spaces between traditional New Hampshire village centers. Small-scale water features like Shields Pond and Rainbow Lake dot the landscape, intertwined with a dense grid of modern roads and older thoroughfares like the Chester Tpke.
