About this map

Goffstown and Grasmere anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, situated along the winding course of the Piscataquog River. The river forms a central axis for the community, expanding into Glen Lake and providing a focal point for the Glen Lake/Greggs Falls/Piscataquog River State Wildlife Management Area. To the north, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, characterized by numerous water bodies like Kimball Pond, Long Pond, and Purgatory Pond, as well as the prominent heights of Quimby Mtn and Wood Hill.

Evidence of the local economy and social infrastructure is scattered throughout, from the Moore General Hospital and Holy Trinity Cemetery in the south to the historic crossroads of Dunbarton Center and Baileys Corner. The abundance of Gravel Pits and Sandpits near the riverbanks suggests a landscape shaped by glacial deposits, while the network of named routes like Mansion Road and Dunbarton Road connects the small settlements and hill farms that define this Merrimack County region.
