About this map

Phillips Exeter Academy anchors the town of Exeter in this coastal New Hampshire and Massachusetts survey, which captures the region before mid-century development. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Boston and Maine Railroad, with various branches like the Salisbury Branch and the Newburyport Branch connecting industrial centers to seaside settlements. The geography transitions from the upland ridges and hills of Kensington and Stratham to the complex tidal systems of the Hampton River and Merrimack River. Along the Atlantic, prominent landmarks like Great Boars Head and the U.S. Life Saving Station on Plum Island highlight a maritime economy centered on coastal transit. This 1934 edition incorporates early aerial photography to map the intricate salt marshes and islands, such as Carr Island and Seal Island, that lie between the river mouths and the open sea.
