About this map

Epping and the surrounding Rockingham County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Lamprey River and its numerous tributaries. This 2015 survey reveals a pattern of modern residential growth overlaid upon a foundation of colonial-era settlements and small family farmsteads. The historical character of the region is preserved in its many small burial grounds, including the Ladd Cem, Wiggin Cem, and Quaker Cem, which serve as quiet markers of ancestral families like the Peavys and Isinglasses who gave their names to local landmarks like Peavy Hill and Isinglass Hill.

Transportation corridors like Stage Rd and the presence of crossroads such as Martin Crossing and Lyford Crossing illustrate the evolution of transit from early turnpikes to contemporary connectors. In the northern reaches, the North River feeds into the intricate water network near Nottingham, while the religious and social history of the area is represented by locations such as Camp Hedding. The map also captures the ecological and recreational importance of larger water bodies like Pawtuckaway Pond, situated just west of the old Nottingham Square village site.
