High Resolution 1892 Map

 maps
This is a map from 1892, showing most of the historic houses in town and their owners at the time.

The map, printed on one large sheet, is really divided into 2 sections, one showing all of Hampton, and the other showing a more detailed view of Hampton Beach. We have made separate image files from each section, plus a third, a blowup of the center of town.

The 3 versions are available for view/download, via links below. Clicking any of these links will display the large image on your screen (although some browsers might be set to automatically downscale pictures to fit the screen). Each will take a long time to finish displaying - as long as 3 minutes with a 56K dial-up connection. Wait until it is fully displayed (your browser's activity indicator will stop).

The act of displaying it on your screen has actually done a "download." At this point, you can save the image to your hard drive by clicking the right mouse button on the image (Mac users just hold the one button down for awhile). A menu will pop up. Click the "Save Picture As..." option and save the image to your harddrive in any folder you like (the actual save by the computer will take very little time). You can then print the picture using any appropriate image-manipulation software (see the bottom of this page for a sugggestion).

After displaying an image and saving it, use the Back button on your browser to return to this page.

  • Center of Town Because the center of Hampton contains the most interesting historical houses, we have blown this area up somewhat, to print nicely in enlarged size on a piece of 8.5x11 paper.
