About this map

The Suncook River winds through this landscape, defining the character of the settlements at Gossville and Epsom. To the southeast, the expansive greenery of Bear Brook State Park occupies a significant portion of the terrain, while large bodies of water like Northwood Lake and Pleasant Lake shape the northeastern and eastern borders. The presence of multiple cemeteries, including Fairview Cem, McClary Cem, and Evans Cem, provides critical data points for genealogical research in this part of Merrimack and Rockingham Counties.

Transportation patterns are anchored by the Old Turnpike Road and the prominent Epsom Circle junction. Higher elevations such as Fort Mtn and Nottingham Mtn rise above the valleys, where smaller hamlets like Short Falls, New Rye, and Northwood Narrows are situated. The map also records localized industry through various Gravel Pits and the Epsom Central Sch, illustrating the mid-century infrastructure of these New Hampshire towns.
