About this map

The Piscataqua River serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey, dividing New Hampshire from Maine and shaping the industrial and residential growth of Portsmouth. The city's core is densely developed, radiating from Christian Shore and Freemans Point toward newer residential pockets like Pannaway Manor and Wentworth Acres. The maritime and transit importance of the harbor is evident in the presence of the Memorial Bridge and the General Sullivan Bridge, alongside the busy Portsmouth Municipal Airport to the west.
