1957 Map of Hampton

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The salt marshes and tidal estuaries of the Hampton River and Blackwater River dominate this coastal survey, revealing a landscape defined by its shifting interface with the Atlantic Ocean. During the mid-20th century, the region's character was shaped by established seaside communities like Hampton Beach and Rye Beach, alongside the intricate waterways of Hampton Harbor. The intricate network of tidal flats, including Hampton Flats and named islands such as Hunts Island and Beckmans Island, underscores the importance of maritime geography to local history. Inland, the map documents the transition from early education centers like Dearborn Academy and Marston Sch to modern infrastructure, including the Hampton Interchange and the Maine Turnpike. Notable landmarks such as St Francis College and the Hampton Airport provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of Rockingham County's shoreline.
