2012 Map of Portsmouth

About this map

The Piscataqua River shoreline and the complex coastal topography of the Great Bay define this regional study. This area serves as a primary maritime and industrial gateway, evidenced by the concentration of infrastructure around Portsmouth, including the Portsmouth Pier and multiple crossings like the General Sullivan Bridge and Memorial Bridge. The transition from urban density in Christian Shore and Atlantic Heights to the residential character of Pannaway Manor and Greenland is clearly marked. Local history is anchored by significant preservation sites such as the Governor John Langdon House and Garden and numerous resting places like Calvary Cem and Saint Marys Cem. The map also captures the sprawling footprint of the Portsmouth International Airport at Pease, illustrating the shift from naval reliance to multifaceted modern transport.
