2012 Map of Parker Mountain

About this map

Strafford and the surrounding township are defined by a network of rural hamlets and small water bodies in this 2012 survey of the Blue Hills Range. The map documents the persistent settlement patterns of central New Hampshire, where crossroads like Leighton Corners, Hills Corner, and Dexter Corner maintain their local identities amidst the woodlands. Notable recreation and youth organizations are anchored here, including Camp Foss and Trinity Camp near the shores of Bow Lake and Jenness Pond. The hydrology is particularly prominent, with the Big River and Little River carving paths through the terrain near peaks like Parker Mountain and Evans Mountain. Geologists and local historians can trace the intricate boundary between the drainage basins of Wild Goose Pond and the eastern marshes of Barn Door Gap.
