The CDP is bordered to the south by the New Hampshire Route 101 expressway and to the west by the Lamprey River from NH 101 to NH 27 (Pleasant Street). The northern border of the CDP follows NH 27 and the Lamprey River, until the village of Epping in the eastern part of the CDP, where it follows Prescott Road and Old Hedding Road to Delaney Road, east of NH 125. The eastern border stays east of NH 125 from Old Hedding Road to NH 101.[2]
