2012 Map of Sandown

About this map

The Exeter River winds through this Rockingham County landscape, anchoring a network of small ponds and established settlements. In Sandown, the village center is marked by the Center Cem and proximity to Lily Pond, while the northern reaches include Fremont and the Fremont Station rail corridor. The area's glacial geography is evident in the numerous hills such as King Hill, Chestnut Hill, and Smith Mountain, which rise above significant water bodies like Phillips Pond and Wash Pond. To the south, the residential clusters of West Hampstead and East Hampstead sit near the northern shores of Big Island Pond. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including North Cem, Wells Cem, and the Lakeview Cem near Baglett Grove. The presence of Heaton Airport and various campgrounds like Angle Pond Campground reflects the region's mid-century role as a recreation and small-aviation hub.
