2024 Map of Northwood

About this map

Bow Lake Village and the high ridge of Northwood Ridge anchor this landscape along the Strafford and Rockingham county line. The terrain is defined by a series of drumlins and family-named elevations like Sherburne Hill and Caverly Hill, separated by a dense network of ponds and marshes. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous small burial grounds, including the Richardson Family Cem and the Old Baptist Church Cem. The road network follows the legacy of the First New Hampshire Tpke and the Old Turnpike Rd, which historically connected these upland settlements. From the shores of Northwood Lake to the southern reach of Deerfield Parade, the map illustrates a classic New England pattern of village clusters separated by forested slopes and wetlands like Woodman Marsh.
