About this map

The Atlantic coastline of Rockingham County defines the geography of this survey, stretching from the sandy reaches of Jenness Beach and Rye Beach south toward the complex estuary of Hampton Harbor. The shoreline is punctuated by prominent landmarks such as Great Boars Head and Lockes Neck, while the interior is a mix of dense coastal settlements and ecological preserves. The development of the early 21st century is evident in the residential clusters of North Hampton, Hampton, and Seabrook, many of which grew around historic junctions like Elmwood Corners and The Five Corners.

Water management and transportation infrastructure are central to the landscape, featuring the Taylor River Reservoir and the Hampton Interchange. The presence of Seabrook Station along the southern marshes highlights the industrial footprint near the Browns River, while recreational areas like the Hampton Beach State Recreational Vehicle Park and Sagamore Golf Course underscore the region's enduring role as a coastal destination. Numerous small graveyards, including Center Cem and Swamp Cem, offer valuable reference points for genealogical research into the area's established families.
