About this map

The salt marshes and coastal inlets of Hampton and Hampton Beach define this section of the New Hampshire shoreline. The intricate network of tidal waterways, including Swains Creek, Blind Creek, and Tide Mill Creek, weaves through the Hampton Marshes, creating a complex landscape of islands like Hunts Island and Knowles Island. Inland, the settlement pattern is marked by traditional crossroads such as Cemetery Corners, Fogg Corner, and The Five Corners, reflecting the historical development of Rockingham County's coastal communities.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, including the High Street Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and the Philbrick Family Cem. The map also captures local industrial and recreational landmarks, from the Old Millpond to the Hampton Airfield and the Hampton Beach State Recreational Vehicle Park. Navigation along the coast is marked by prominent features such as Great Boars Head and the rocky outcrops of Rye Ledge.
