Antrim
Hillsborough County · 03440
Antrim sits in the Contoocook River valley of western Hillsborough County, where the north-flowing Contoocook and its North Branch cross a hilly, heavily forested town dotted with Gregg Lake, Franklin Pierce Lake, and Audubon-owned Willard Pond beneath 2,037-foot Bald Mountain. Its wooded, water-rich terrain drives high blacklegged-tick pressure — UNH Extension reports most NH Lyme cases come from Rockingham, Hillsborough and Strafford counties, with nearly 60% of adult blacklegged ticks statewide infected — while its many ponds and riverine wetlands breed the mosquitoes tracked in Hillsborough County's arboviral surveillance.

Hillsborough County · 03442
Bennington straddles the north-flowing Contoocook River, which pools behind a dam to form the 419-acre Powder Mill Pond before dropping about 70 feet over Great Falls past the historic Monadnock Paper Mills; Crotched Mountain reaches roughly 2,020 feet in the town's east. The shallow impoundment (averaging about three feet deep) and surrounding wetlands are prime mosquito habitat in a county whose mosquitoes are submitted for NH DHHS EEE and West Nile surveillance, while forest-edge homes face steady blacklegged-tick pressure from ticks that in NH are nearly 60% infected with the Lyme bacterium.

Hillsborough County · 03244
Deering is a rural, wooded northwestern Hillsborough County town of about 1,904 residents with no traffic lights, built around the 323-acre Deering Reservoir — the headwaters of the Piscataquog River — beneath 1,570-foot Clark Summit. Its forest-and-wetland landscape and older colonial housing stock create dual pressure: blacklegged ticks carrying Lyme disease in a county UNH Extension flags among NH's highest for Lyme, plus carpenter ants, which UNH Extension calls (with termites) the most troublesome structural pest in New Hampshire, drawn to moisture-damaged wood in aging rural homes.

Hillsborough County · 03043
Francestown is a small, historic Hillsborough County town of about 1,610 residents whose 900-acre Crotched Mountain Town Forest climbs to the mountain's 2,063-foot summit, with Pleasant Pond, Scoby Pond, and Haunted Lake scattered among nearly 1,500 acres of town forest and old soapstone-quarry country mined from 1792 to 1912. Its extensive forest edge and 18th–19th-century housing stock mean high blacklegged-tick exposure for Lyme disease and recurring carpenter-ant activity — a top NH structural pest per UNH Extension — in moisture-prone antique homes.

Hillsborough County · 03047
Greenfield surrounds the 400-acre Greenfield State Park, whose ponds, bogs, and forest ring undeveloped Otter Lake and form the largest campground in New Hampshire's state-park system; North Pack Monadnock rises to 2,276 feet along the Wapack Trail at the town's edge. The park's bogs and standing water are classic mosquito-breeding habitat in a county whose mosquitoes are tested under NH DHHS arboviral surveillance, while its deep forest cover sustains heavy blacklegged-tick pressure in a region UNH Extension ranks among NH's highest for Lyme.

Hillsborough County · 03449
Hancock spans from the deep, 718-acre Nubanusit Lake on its western border to Powder Mill Pond and the Contoocook River on the east, with Norway Pond anchoring a well-preserved village center and 2,002-foot Skatutakee Mountain as its high point. Roughly two-thirds of Nubanusit's shore is conservation land, and that heavily wooded terrain drives strong blacklegged-tick and Lyme pressure — with nearly 60% of NH adult blacklegged ticks infected — while its pond and river wetlands support the mosquito activity tracked by county arboviral surveillance.

Hillsborough County · 03244
Hillsborough spreads along the Contoocook River and includes the 1,445-acre Fox State Forest — the state's forestry research station, whose Black Gum Swamp and Mud Pond anchor 22 miles of trails — as well as the homestead of President Franklin Pierce. Its swamps and standing water are mosquito-breeding grounds in a county whose mosquitoes are submitted for NH DHHS EEE and West Nile surveillance, while the surrounding forest sustains high tick-borne-disease risk in a region UNH Extension ranks among New Hampshire's highest for Lyme.

Hillsborough County · 03458
Peterborough, a town of about 6,418, sits where Nubanusit Brook joins the Contoocook River, ringed by forested hills that rise to 2,290-foot South Pack Monadnock in Miller State Park — the highest point in Hillsborough County — and it is home to the nation's first tax-supported free public library (1833) and the MacDowell artist colony. The river valley's wetlands breed the mosquitoes tracked by NH DHHS surveillance, while its wooded properties face high blacklegged-tick and Lyme pressure in one of NH's highest-incidence counties.

Hillsborough County · 03244
Windsor is the smallest town in Hillsborough County — 262 residents across 8.5 square miles at the 2020 census — a remote, heavily wooded community of 5,000-plus forested acres near Pillsbury and Fox state parks where moose, wild turkeys, and black bears are common backyard visitors. That near-total forest cover and abundance of wildlife hosts translate into intense blacklegged-tick exposure for Lyme disease — with nearly 60% of NH adult ticks infected — plus the wildlife intrusions typical of isolated rural properties.
