1981 Map of Mt. Pawtuckaway

About this map

The Pawtuckaway Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Rockingham County survey, where South Mtn and Middle Mtn rise above the waters of Pawtuckaway Pond. This area is preserved as the Pawtuckaway State Park, featuring a Lookout Tower and a complex network of coves and islands such as Big Island and Horse Island. To the south, the settlement of Raymond serves as a local hub along the Lamprey River, marked by the path of the Boston and Maine Railroad. The map reveals a transition from these wooded highlands to the river-fed valleys, with several small family cemeteries like Bartlett Cem and Chase Cem scattered through the hills. This era shows the developed recreation and transit corridor prior to modern suburban expansion, preserving features like Onway Lake and the Exeter River headwaters.
