About this map

Kingston and its surrounding villages in Rockingham County appear here as a landscape of interconnected ponds and historic corridors during the early 1980s. The town's colonial roots are evident at Ye Old Meeting House and the adjacent Ye Old Cem, while the central common is marked by the Kingston Plains Cem. The Powwow River system dictates the southern topography, linking Great Pond, Country Pond, and Greenwood Pond, which served as recreational and ecological anchors for the community.

Industrial and agricultural heritage is preserved in the presence of the State Game Farm in Brentwood and the active Boston and Maine Railroad corridor passing through East Kingston. Local education and conservation efforts are visible through the Swasey Central Sch and the expanse of Rock Rimmon State Forest, illustrating a region balancing its 18th-century heritage with modern state-managed lands and residential clusters like Pages Corner and Marshall Corner.
