The Nashua River serves as the primary artery for this region of the Massachusetts and New Hampshire border, dictating the placement of historic industrial sites and settlements. In the mid-2010s, the landscape around Pepperell and East Pepperell retained its dense network of small villages, including Babbatasset Village and Paper Mill Village, which reflect the area's manufacturing roots. The conversion of former transportation corridors is evident in the Nashua River Rail Trl, which follows the river's bend near Hollis Depot. To the west, the Nissitissit River flows through North Pepperell, passing near landmarks like the Pepperell Airport. The terrain is characterized by numerous named heights such as Nissitissit Hills and Mt Lebanon, while the rural character of the area is underscored by the concentration of family and community burial grounds, including South Cem, East Cem, and Woodlawn Cem.
