1939 Map of Mt. Pawtuckaway

About this map

Mount Pawtuckaway dominates this landscape, rising above a network of granite-strewn ponds and interconnected watersheds in south-central New Hampshire. The late 1930s settlement pattern shows a concentration of crossroads communities like Deerfield Parade, Nottingham Square, and Strafford PO Bow Lake Village, many of which were established during the colonial era and retained their rural layout into the early twentieth century. The Isinglass River and Bellamy River cut through the glacial terrain, while the Boston and Maine Railroad serves the southern manufacturing and transit hubs of Raymond and Epping. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from the County Farm in Brentwood to numerous isolated district schools like the Poore Farm School and Winkley School, alongside family-named summits such as Bumfagging Hill and Caverly Hill.
