About this map

Center Harbor serves as a central hub on the northern shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, marking a landscape defined by the intricate transition between land and water. This mapping shows the dense cluster of islands including Bear Island, Threemile Island, and Black Cat Island, which have long shaped the navigational and recreational character of the region. To the north, the elevation rises toward Red Hill, where Red Hill Cem and Bean Cem provide anchor points for local genealogical research near the shores of Lake Kanasatka.

The presence of Moultonborough Falls and Lees Mill near Lees Pond indicates early industrial reliance on water power. The map detail extends to the protected lands of the Alvord Wildlife Sanctuary on Bear Island and community spaces like Leavitt Park. This documentation of the shoreline, from Lovejoy Sands to Aunt Dollys Point, records the modern footprint of these storied New Hampshire lakeside communities.
