About this map

The Piscataqua River and its complex tidal tributaries anchor this mid-century look at the Seacoast region, showing the area as it stood after the establishment of Pease Air Force Base. The transition from rural farming to Cold War-era infrastructure is evident in the development of Atlantic Heights and Pannaway Manor near Portsmouth, contrasted with the academic grounds of the University of New Hampshire in Durham.
