             NATURAL RESOURCES DWENTORY FOR THE
                 TOWN OF NEWFIELDS, NEW HAMPSHIRE




                    Prepared for the Newfields Conservation Commission by
                             the Rockingham Planning Commission
                                       September 30, 1994








         This report was funded in part by a grant from the office of State Planning, New
         Hampshire Coastal Program, as authorized by the National oceanic and Atmospheric
         Administration (NOAA), award number NA370ZO277-01.














         The Rockingham Planning commission has worked extensively with the
         Newfields Conservation Commission in the preparation of a series of
         GIS-based natural resource maps.       This series of maps has been
         prepared to allow the Conservation Commission the opportunity to
         compile in one set of standardized maps the information known to
         date about Newfield's natural resources.

         The contract for the preparation of these maps specified the maps
         that were to be prepared for this report. They are as follows:

                         1.    A new base tax parcel map.
                         2.    A groundwater resources map.
                         3.    A natural heritage inventory map.
                         4.    A publicly-owned protected lands map.
                         5.    A surficial and bedrock geology map.
                         6.    A floodplains map.
                         7.    An historic / archeological sites map.
                         8.    A soils map.
                         9.    A wetlands map.
                         10.   An existing land use map.

         Each of these maps have been prepared except for one. Map #3, the
         natural heritage inventory map was not generated because no species
         of plant or animal within the municipal boundaries of Newfields was
         specified in the report returned from the Department of Resources
         and Economic Development, New Hampshire Natural Heritage Inventory.
         As a result the RPC prepared a forest soils map in place of this
         map.    In addition, the Conservation Commission has chosen to
         combine some of these coverages onto one map. In the case of water
         resources for instance, surficial water bodies, floodplains,
         bedrock geology, and watersheds are all shown on one map.

         As a cost-savings measure the Newfields Conservation Commission
         decided that they would produce -the text for the document instead
         of having the RPC prepare this section. The RPC was contracted to
         provide technical assistance in the preparation of the text to
         accompany the inventory.      In this the following information was
         provided to the conservation commission:

              1.    For the new6base tax parcel map the RPC arranged to have
                    Cartographic Associates, Inc., supply mylar copies of the
                    town's tax maps to enable RPC digitizing of same. met
                    with chairpersons of both the Planning Board and the
                    Conservation Commission to accomplish a parcel by parcel
                    land use.

              2.    The map is based upon the latest USGS aquifer delineation
                    study entitled Geohydrology and Water Quality of
                    Stratified Drift Aquifers In the Exeter, Lamprey and

                                              I









                    oyster River Basins, Southeastern N.H., published in
                    1990. The Conservation. Commission wa given the technical
                    reports from this study to assist them in their text
                    preparation. In addition the Conservation Commission was
                    given five copies of the Water Resource Management and
                    Protection Plan (WRMPP) for Newfields that was prepared
                    in 1990 to assist them with text preparation.

              3.    This map was replaced by the forest soils and farm land
                    map.   The conservation Commission was given a soils
                    potentials index for forest lands prepared by the
                    Rockingham County Cooperative Extension Service to assist
                    them in text preparation.

              4.    This map was based upon information supplied by the
                    chairman of the Conservation Commission.              Little
                    assistance was provided to the Town by the RPC for this
                    map.

              5.    Surficial water bodies were based upon the GRANIT
                    coverage provided to the RPC from Complex Systems. The
                    coverage was updated for the Conservation Commission by
                    the RPC. The WRMPP was provided as the best source for
                    information about these map features for the preparation
                    of text.    Bedrock geology was taken from the GRANIT
                    coverages provided by Complex Systems. Surf icial Geology
                    was taken from the USGS aquifer study referenced above.
                    Further information about the information found on this
                    map was provided through the WRMPP.

              6.    The f loodplains map incorporated the information found on
                    the latest Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA)
                    Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) for. the Town of
                    Newfields dated 1989. A copy of the most recent town-
                    wide flood report prepared by FEMA was provided to the
                    conservation commission to assist them in the preparation
                    of text.


              7.    The map is based upon the historic section of the Town's
                    Master Plan. A copy of this section was provided to the
                    Conservation commission to assist them in the preparation
                    of text.

              8.    The soils map was based upon the Soil Conservation
                    Service map coverages provided by Complex Systems as part
                    of the GRANIT System. The Conservation Commission was
                    given a set of soils interpretation sheets for each of
                    the soils found. These interpretive sheets provide the
                    information needed to prepare the text for this map. The
                    interpretive sheets were compiled by the Rockingham
                    County Conservation District (RCCD) by request of the
                    RPC.

              9.    The wetlands map was based upon information supplied by









                  Complex Systems. Soils delineations are based upon SCS
                  site work and the information provided by RCCD for the
                  soils map would be helpful in the text preparation for
                  this map also.

             10.  The existing land use map is based upon information
                  provided to the RPC through a meeting with the chairman
                  of both the Newfields' Planning Board and Conservation
                  Commission. At this meeting each tax parcel was assigned
                  a specific land use as determined by the two chairmen.

          DRAFT





              NATURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY FOR THE
                 TOWN OF NEWFIELDS, NEW HAMPSHIRE




                    Prepared for the Newfields, Conservation Commission by
                              the Rockingham Planning Commission
                                       September 30, 1994








          This report was funded in part by a grant from the office of State Planning, New
          Hampshire Coastal Program, as authorized by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
          Administration (NOAA), award number NA370ZO277-01.


















                                                                                   73, 3,1-5-













         The Rockingham Planning Commission has worked extensively with the
         Newfields Conservation commission in the preparation of a series of
         GIS-based natural resource maps.      This series of maps has been
         prepared to allow the Conservation commission the opportunity to
         compile in one set of standardized maps the information known to
         date about Newfield's natural resources.

         The contract for the preparation of these maps specified the maps
         that were to be prepared for this report. They are as follows:

                         1.    A new base tax parcel map.
                         2.    A groundwater resources map.
                         3.    A natural heritage inventory map.
                         4.    A publicly-owned protected lands map.
                         5.    A surficial and bedrock geology map.
                         6.    A floodplains map.
                         7.    An historic / archeological sites map.
                         8.    A soils map.
                         9.    A wetlands map.
                         10.   An existing land use map.

         Each of these maps have been prepared except for one. Map #3, the
         natural heritage inventory map was not generated because no species
         of plant or animal within the municipal boundaries of Newfields was
         specified in the report returned from the Department of Resources
         and Economic Development, New Hampshire Natural Heritage Inventory.
         As a result the RPC prepared a forest soils map in place of this
         map.    In addition, the Conservation Commission has chosen to
         combine some of these coverages onto one map. In the case of water
         resources for instance, surficial water bodies, floodplains,
         bedrock geology, and watersheds are all shown on one map.

         As a cost-savings measure the Newfields Conservation Commission
         decided that they would produce the text for the document instead
         of having the RPC prepare this section. The RPC was contracted to
         provide technical assistance in the preparation of the text to
         accompany the inventory.      In this the following information was
         provided to the conservation Commission:

              1.    For the new4b,ase tax parcel map the RPC arranged to have
                    Cartographic- Associates, Inc., supply mylar copies of the
                    town's tax maps to enable RPC digitizing of same. Met
                    with chairpersons of both the Planning Board and the
                    Conservation Commission to accomplish a parcel by parcel
                    land use.

              2.    The map is based upon the latest USGS aquifer delineation
                    study entitled Geohydrology and Water Quality of
                    Stratified Drift Aquifers In the Exeter, Lamprey and









                    Oyster River Basins, Southeastern N.H., published in
                    1990. The Conservation Commission wa given the technical
                    reports from this study to assist them in their text
                    preparation. In addition the Conservation Commission was
                    given five copies of the Water Resource Management and
                    Protection Plan (WRMPP) for Newfields that was prepared
                    in 1990 to assist them with text preparation.

              3.    This map was replaced by the forest soils and farm land
                    map.   The conservation commission was given a soils
                    potentials index for forest lands prepared by the
                    Rockingham County Cooperative Extension service to assist
                    them in text preparation.

              4.    This map was based upon information supplied by the
                    chairman of the Conservation Commission.             Little
                    assistance was provided to the Town by the RPC for this
                    map.

              5.    Surficial water bodies were based upon the GRANIT
                    coverage provided to the RPC from Complex Systems. The
                    coverage was updated for the Conservation Commission by
                    the RPC. The WRMPP was provided as the best source for
                    information about these map features for the preparation
                    of text.    Bedrock geology was taken from the GRANIT
                    coverages provided by Complex Systems - Surf icial Geology
                    was taken from the USGS aquifer study referenced above.
                    Further information about the information found on this
                    map was provided through the WRMPP.

              6.    The f loodplains map incorporated the information found on
                    the latest Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA)
                    Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) for- the Town of
                    Newfields dated 1989. A copy of the most recent town-
                    wide flood report prepared by FEMA was provided to the
                    Conservation Commission to assist them in the preparation
                    of text.


              7.    The map is based upon the historic section of the Town's
                    Master Plan. A copy of this section was provided to the
                    Conservation Commission to assist them in the preparation
                    of text.

              8.    The soils map was based upon the Soil Conservation
                    service map coverages provided by Complex Systems as part
                    of the GRANIT System. The Conservation commission was
                    given a set of soils interpretation sheets for each of
                    the soils found. These interpretive sheets provide the
                    information needed to prepare the text for this map. The
                    interpretive sheets were compiled by the Rockingham
                    County Conservation District (RCCD) by request of the
                    RPC.

              9.    The wetlands map was based upon information supplied by

                                             I









                  Complex Systems. Soils delineations are based upon SCS
                  site work and the information provided by RCCD for the
                  soils map would be helpful in the text preparation for
                  this map also.

             10.  The existing land use map is based upon information
                  provided to the RPC through a meeting with the chairman
                  of both the Newfields' Planning Board and Conservation
                  Commission. At this meeting each tax parcel was assigned
                  a specific land use as determined by the two chairmen.

          DRAFT





              NATURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY FOR THE
                 TOWN OF NEWFIELDS, NEW HAMPSHIRE




                    Prepared for the Newfields, Conservation Commission by
                              the Rockingham Planning Commission
                                       September 30, 1994








          This report was funded in part by a grant from the office of State Planning, New
          Hampshire Coastal Program, as authorized by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
          Administration (NOAA), award number NA370ZO277-01.

        The Rockingham Planning commission has worked extensively with the
        Newfields Conservation commission in the preparation of a series of
        GIS-based natural resource maps.       This series of maps has been
        prepared to allow the Conservation Commission the opportunity to
        compile in one set of standardized maps the information known to
        date about Newfield's natural resources.

        The contract for the preparation of these maps specified the maps
        that were to be prepared for this report. They are as follows:

                         1.   A  new base tax parcel map.
                         2.   A  groundwater resources map.
                         3.   A  natural heritage inventory map.
                         4.   A  publicly-owned protected lands map.
                         5.   A  surficial and bedrock geology map.
                         6.   A  floodplains map.
                         7.   An historic / archeological sites map.
                         8.   A soils map.
                         9.   A wetlands map.
                         10.  An existing land use map.

        Each of these maps have been prepared except for one. Map #3, the
        natural heritage inventory map was not generated because no species
        of plant or animal within the municipal boundaries of Newf ields was
        specified in the report returned from the Department of Resources
        and Economic Development, New Hampshire Natural Heritage Inventory.
        As a result the RPC prepared a forest soils map in place of this
        map.    In addition, the Conservation Commission has chosen to
        combine some of these coverages onto one map. In the case of water
        resources for instance, surficial water bodies, floodplains,
        bedrock geology, and watersheds are all shown on one map.

        As a cost-savings measure the Newfields Conservation Commission
        decided that they would produce the text for the document instead
        of having the RPC prepare this section. The RPC was contracted to
        provide technical assistance in the preparation of the text to
        accompany the inventory.       In this the following information was
        provided to the conservation Commission:

              1.    For the new6bAse tax parcel map the RPC arranged to have
                    Cartographic, Associates, Inc., supply mylar copies of the
                    town*ls tax maps to enable RPC digitizing of same. met
                    with chairpersons of both the Planning Board and the
                    conservation Commission to accomplish a parcel by parcel
                    land use.

              2.    The map is based upon the latest USGS aquifer delineation
                    study entitled Geohydrology and Water Quality of
                    Stratified Drift Aquifers In the Exeter, Lamprey and

                                              I









                   oyster River Basins, Southeastern N.H., published in
                   1990. The Conservation Commission wa given the technical
                   reports from this study to assist them in their text
                   preparation. In addition the Conservation commission was
                   given five copies of the Water Resource Management and
                   Protection Plan (WRMPP) for Newfields that was prepared
                   in 1990 to assist them with text preparation.

              3.   This map was replaced by the forest soils and farm land
                   map.    The conservation commission was given a soils
                   potentials index for forest lands prepared by the
                   Rockingham County Cooperative Extension Service to assist
                   them in text preparation.

              4.   This map was based upon information supplied by the
                   chairman of the Conservation Commission.              Little
                   assistance was provided to the Town by the RPC for this
                   map.

              5.   Surficial water bodies were based upon the GRANIT
                   coverage provided to the RPC from Complex Systems. The
                   coverage was updated for the Conservation Commission by
                   the RPC. The WRMPP was provided as the best source for
                   information about these map features for the preparation
                   of text.    Bedrock geology was taken from the GRANIT
                   coverages provided by Complex Systems. Surf icial Geology
                   was taken from the USGS aquifer study referenced above.
                   Further information about the information found on this
                   map was provided through the WRMPP.

              6.   The f loodplains map incorporated the information found on
                   the latest Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA)
                   Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) for. the Town of
                   Newfields dated 1989. A copy of the most recent town-
                   wide flood report prepared by FEMA was provided to the
                   Conservation Commission to assist them in the preparation
                   of text.


              7.   The map is based upon the historic section of the Town's
                   Master Plan. A copy of this section was provided to the
                   Conservation Commission to assist them in the preparation
                   of text.

              8.   The soils map was based upon the Soil Conservation
                   Service map coverages provided by Complex Systems as part
                   of the GRANIT System. The Conservation Commission was
                   given a set of soils interpretation sheets for each of
                   the soils found. These interpretive sheets provide the
                   information needed to prepare the text for this map. The
                   interpretive sheets were compiled by the Rockingham
                   County Conservation District (RCCD) by request of the
                   RPC.


              9.   The wetlands map was based upon information supplied by









                  Complex Systems. Soils delineations are based upon SCS
                  site work and the information provided by RCCD for the
                  soils map would be helpful in the text preparation for
                  this map also.

             10.  The existing land use map is based upon information
                  provided to the RPC through a meeting with the chairman
                  of both the Newfields' Planning Board and Conservation
                  Commission. At this meeting each tax parcel was assigned
                  a specific land use as determined by the two chairmen.
