About this map

The New Hampshire Satellite Tracking Station dominates the eastern ridge lines of this Hillsborough County landscape, situated near Joe English Hill and Roby Hill. The township of New Boston sits at the confluence of the South Branch Piscataquog River and the main Piscataquog River, showcasing a classic New England river-valley settlement pattern. To the south, the village of Mont Vernon anchors the highlands above Stearns Pond and Jew Pond.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and industrial past remains in the numerous gravel pits and named family summits like Hooper Hill and Storey Hill. Water resources are central to the terrain, from the Middle Branch Piscataquog River in the northwest to the dramatic Purgatory Falls along Purgatory Brook near the southern boundary. This survey captures a moment where high-tech cold war infrastructure stood alongside traditional rural landmarks like Greenlawn Cem and Meetinghouse Hill.
