1919 Map of Mt. Pawtuckaway

About this map

Mountain Pawtuckaway dominates the landscape of southeastern New Hampshire in this 1917 survey, anchoring a region of complex glacial terrain and upland water bodies. The settlement pattern reflects the traditional New England village structure, with established centers like Deerfield Parade, Nottingham Square, and Strafford P.O. Bow Lake Village serving as social hubs. The industrial and transportation corridor follows the Boston and Maine Railroad through Raymond and Epping, where the Portsmouth and Concord divisions intersect. Education is decentralized across numerous rural district schools, such as the Winkley School and Hale School, which provided local instruction long before school consolidation. The map traces the winding course of the Isinglass River and identifies significant community landmarks like the County Farm and religious gathering spots including Hedding and Camp Hedding.
