About this map

Mystery Hill sits at the center of this New Hampshire landscape, a site of local intrigue surrounded by the expanding residential and recreational corridors of Rockingham County. In the late 1960s, the area displays a mix of historic lakeside clusters and mid-century suburban growth, particularly around the Arlington Mill Reservoir and the numerous small islands of Island Pond. The transportation network is anchored by the Boston and Maine railroad, which services the commerce of Salem Depot.

Further south, the landscape shifts toward large-scale recreational landmarks such as Rockingham Park and Canobie Lake. Educational and religious institutions like the historic Atkinson Academy, St Josephs Ch, and North Salem Sch reflect the established community roots. From the millponds of Hampshire to the banks of the Merrimack River, this survey documents a region defined by its numerous water bodies and its role as a cross-border hub between New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
