About this map

The Squamscott River and Exeter River define the northern hydrology of this 2012 survey, where suburban expansion meets the longstanding agricultural character of Rockingham County. Settled points like Kensington and South Hampton are anchors for a landscape punctuated by historic "corner" settlements, including Brick School Corner and Town Hall Corner. These traditional place names reveal an older pattern of rural organization centered on local crossroads and civic infrastructure.

Genealogists can trace family heritage through numerous burial grounds such as Winter Street Cem, the Ye Old Neighborhood Cem, and Pike Cem. The southern reach of the map shows the transition toward the coastal plain, with the Hampton Falls River and Back River winding through terrain marked by family-named landmarks like Titcomb Hill and Palmer Hill. Local aviation is represented by both Cole Farm Airport and Propwash Airport, while industry of an earlier era is remembered through Coffins Mill and Weares Mill.
