About this map

Derry and its surrounding townships of Auburn and Chester are captured during a period of transition in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by its water bodies and educational institutions, with Massabesic Lake dominating the northwest corner and Beaver Lake serving as a central landmark for the town. Academic sites such as Pinkerton Academy and White Pines College highlight the area's local significance as a center for learning.

Evidence of the region's transport and utility infrastructure is visible in the route of the Boston and Maine Railroad and the presence of several lookout towers, including the one at Devils Den. The map also details the traditional village centers of Derry Village and East Derry, alongside smaller landmarks like Village Cem and the Alexander-Eastman Hospital, illustrating the community's established social and medical foundations.
