About this map

Mt Pawtuckaway dominates the center of this 1950s landscape, surrounded by the varied terrain of Rockingham and Strafford Counties. The region is characterized by a high density of small ponds and hills, with Pawtuckaway Lake and Bow Lake serving as major water bodies. In the southern portion, the Boston and Maine RR cuts through Epping and Raymond, passing by the Watson Academy and the industrial crossing at Martin Crossing.

Settlement patterns show several distinct villages such as Northwood Narrows, Deerfield Parade, and Nottingham Square, many of which were established around early New England crossroads. Local landmarks include the Deerfield Fairgrounds and several specialized camps like Camp Hedding and Camp Wah-Tut-Ca. The presence of Woodman State Forest and Nottingham State Forest alongside the Pawtuckaway State Reservation illustrates the state's early commitment to forest conservation and public recreation areas.
