About this map

Saddleback Mountain rises as a central landmark in this region of southern New Hampshire, overlooking a landscape defined by glacial lakes and small village clusters. In the mid-1990s, the chain of settlements along the primary corridor includes Northwood Narrows, Northwood Center, and Northwood Ridge, illustrating the historical development of transit-oriented hamlets in Rockingham and Strafford counties. To the north, Bow Lake and its many islands, such as Loon Island and Pine Island, serve as focal points for recreation, evidenced by numerous boat ramps and camps like Camp Wab-Tut-Ca.

Evidence of the area's rural foundations is found in the scattered family cemeteries, including Bartlett Cem and Caverly Cem, which are preserved alongside large tracts of protected land like Woodman State Forest. In the southern portion of the map, the Lamprey River winds past Deerfield Parade and James City, while the presence of a Landing Strip near West Nottingham suggests the modern integration of light aviation into this traditional New England terrain.
