2021 Map of Alstead

About this map

Alstead and the village of Acworth anchor this 2021 topographic perspective of southwestern New Hampshire, where the Sullivan Co Cheshire Co border divides the landscape. The Cold River meanders through the central valley, passing the historic McDermott Bridge and the recreational area at Vilas Pool. This modern survey reveals a region defined by its rugged uplands and narrow river bottoms, with numerous family-named peaks like Grout Hill, Cobb Hill, and Beryl Mtn rising sharply above the valley floor. The map details a network of rural routes, including Old Stage Rd and Old School House Rd, which reflect the area's agricultural and educational heritage. Researchers can find distinct clusters of settlement at South Acworth and East Alstead, while more remote locales like Lynn and South Hemlock persist among the wooded slopes and brooks of the Sullivan Co Cheshire Co highlands.
