About this map

Newmarket and Newfields sit along the tidal Squamscott River, where the waterway opens into the Upper Narrows and the wide expanse of Great Bay. This coastal landscape is defined by its maritime and industrial heritage, with the Lamprey River flowing through the center of the region. The map reveals a dense concentration of historical burial sites, including the Cheswell Cem and the Smith Family Cem, reflecting centuries of local family history.

Further inland, the terrain rises toward Pigeon Hill and Great Hill, while the Piscassic River feeds the Piscassic Ice Pond. The layout of the region demonstrates a long-standing reliance on river access, from the small settlement at Winnicut Mills to the strategic positioning of Rockingham near the river bend. The transition from the Newmarket Plains to the shoreline at Moodys Point illustrates the varied geography of the Seacoast region.
