Geography
The CDP is in the northern part of the town of Durham, on the north side of the Oyster River. It is bordered to the north by the town of Madbury. The western edge of the CDP mostly follows the Pan Am Railways line, except for a portion that extends farther west, following Reservoir Brook, Spinney Lane, Mast Road, and College Brook back to the railroad tracks. The southern border of the CDP follows the Oyster River as far as Beards Creek, which it follows north to New Hampshire Route 108. The border then follows U.S. Route 4 east to Johnson Creek, the eastern edge of the CDP.[2]

Route 4 leads southeast 9 miles (14 km) to Interstate 95 in Portsmouth and west 34 miles (55 km) to Concord, the state capital. Route 108 passes through the center of the CDP, leading north 5 miles (8 km) to the center of Dover and south 12 miles (19 km) to Exeter. The campus of the University of New Hampshire occupies the southwestern part of the CDP.
