About this map

New Hampshire Satellite Tracking Annex stands as a prominent Cold War era landmark on this landscape, nestled between the hills of New Boston and Mont Vernon. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high points like Joe English Hill and Piscataquog Mtn, with the Middle Branch Piscataquog River and South Branch Piscataquog River cutting through the valleys. Local history is deeply etched into the topography through family-named landmarks such as Mcgregor Pond, McCollom Hill, and Johnson Corner.

South of the primary settlement, the land descends toward Purgatory Falls and Purgatory Brook, an area of significant natural interest long before modern development. The map also records several small bodies of water and wetlands, including Joe English Pond and the Campbell Swamp, while highlighting essential community sites like Greenlawn Cem and several Gravel Pits that supported local industry during this period.
