1977 Map of Derry

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Derry and the neighboring settlement of Chester are captured during a period of transition in the late 1970s, as traditional New Hampshire village centers began to integrate with modern transportation corridors. The orthophoto format provides a clear view of the dense development around Derry Village contrasted with the more distributed agricultural and forested tracts to the north. Significant water bodies, most notably Massabesic Lake in the northwest and the centrally located Beaver Lake, anchor the landscape. The emergence of major infrastructure is visible through the path of Interstate 93, which intersects the western edge of the quadrangle. Topographic features like Mine Hill break the residential expansion, offering a look at the natural constraints on development in Rockingham County at this time. This 1977 aerial perspective preserves the exact footprint of local roads like Route 102 and Route 121 before decades of subsequent suburban growth.
