About this map

The Piscataqua River serves as the central artery for this coastal landscape, defining the state boundary between New Hampshire and Maine. The dense urban grid of Portsmouth is flanked by significant cemeteries including Calvary Cem and Saint Marys Cem, while the waterfront near Nobles Island and Badgers Island highlights the area's maritime importance. Transport infrastructure is prominent throughout the quadrangle, from the heavy automotive corridors of the Spaulding Tpke and Lafayette Rd to the historic rail sites at Newington Station and Greenland Station.

Further inland, the terrain transitions to the smaller settlements of Greenland and Rye, where the landscape is marked by Breakfast Hill and numerous water bodies such as Great Bay and the Winnicut River. This 2015 data provides a modern view of the region's evolved land use, including the footprint of Pease Blvd and the residential clusters at Acorn Acres and Elwyn Park, contrasted against older landmarks like Winnieut Mills and Durham Point.
