* This map is modified from map #3 in the document "Hackett Hill Resource Inventory and Stewardship Plan, University of New Hampshire Hackett Hill Senior Project Team, Spring, 1995". The original map was based on maps prepared by Craig Wood of Normandeau Associates, and Jon Nute, UNH Cooperative Extension Forester.

It should be noted that only the borders of the actual wetlands are shown in this map. Watershed areas are much more extensive.
