1957 Map of Hampton

About this map

The rocky Atlantic coastline and expansive salt marshes of Rockingham County define this mid-century survey of the New Hampshire shore. Centered on Hampton, the map captures the region's development as a premier coastal destination, from the seasonal density of Hampton Beach to the established neighborhoods at North Hampton Center and Rye Beach. The landscape transitions from the prominent glacial drumlin of Great Boars Head to the intricate network of the Hampton River and Tide Mill Creek, where expansive flats like Hampton Flats illustrate the complex drainage system of the seacoast.
