About this map

The Piscataquog River and its multiple branches define the rugged topography of this Hillsborough County landscape, carving through a series of significant heights like Mt William, Mt Wallingford, and Raymond Cliff. The central corridor is anchored by a string of historic villages, from North Weare and Chase Village down to South Weare and Tavern Village. This settlement pattern reflects the traditional New England mill-and-farm economy, where community centers grew alongside reliable water power and crossroads.

Genealogists and local researchers will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including numerous family and community burial grounds such as the Quaker Cem, Stark Cem, and Hillside Cem. The engineered landscape is also prominent, with the Everett Dam impounding Everett Lake in the northeast. This 2018 survey provides an intricate view of the modern road network, like Roosevelt Rd and River Rd, as they navigate the area's complex stream systems including Peacock Brook and Middle Branch Piscataquog River.
