2024 Map of Hampton

About this map

The Atlantic coastline of Rockingham County defines this landscape, where tidal inlets and marshy estuaries meet the established seaside communities of Hampton and Seabrook. The intricate network of waterways, including the Hampton River, Mill Creek, and the Blackwater River, underscores the historical reliance on coastal access. Small settlements and crossroads like The Five Corners, Elmwood Corners, and Fogg Corner reveal a colonial-era land division pattern that persists alongside modern landmarks like the Hampton Airfield and Seabrook Station. Family-named cemeteries and burial grounds are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including the Marden Family Cem and the Post Road Burial Ground, offering significant data points for genealogists. From the prominent rocky outcrops of Great Boars Head to the industrial site of Coffins Mill, the map illustrates a complex coastal economy shaped by the sea and the region's early families.
