This map of Portsmouth, New Hampshire was created by KNOWOL in the tradition of nineteenth century panoramic lithographs. The map records the city in loving detail, and accurately depicts its roads, geography, and local and historical landmarks. Every building has been drawn individually, so you can zoom in and find your house or place of work. Each landmark on the map was researched and verified against the National Register of Historic Places, state records, and the institutions’ own histories.

Few American cities carry this much history per block. This beautifully designed vintage style map marks Strawbery Banke Museum, the USS Albacore, the Portsmouth Athenaeum of 1817 on Market Square, The Music Hall, and the great colonial houses: the Moffatt-Ladd House, the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion, the John Paul Jones House, the Gov. John Langdon Mansion, and the Richard Jackson House among them. Water Country, New England’s largest water park, holds the modern edge of the sheet.
