2015 Map of Bethlehem

About this map

Bethlehem sits at the heart of this landscape, flanked by significant peaks and water bodies that have shaped the region's development. The Ammonoosuc River and its various tributaries, such as Baker Brook and Barrett Brook, drain the highlands where summits like Mt Agassiz and Cleveland Mtn rise above the valley. To the south, the boundary of the White Mountain National Forest marks a transition into protected wilderness, while the northern reaches features several notable lakes, including Forest Lake and Burns Pond. Historical settlement patterns are evident in the clustering of neighborhoods like Apthorp, Maplewood, and Pierce Bridge along the primary travel corridors. The varied elevation, from Mt Misery in the northwest to Garnet Mtn in the southwest, illustrates the challenging topography that influenced the placement of Littleton Rd and other local thoroughfares.
