2021 Map of Center Harbor

About this map

Center Harbor serves as the gateway to the intricate archipelago and bays of northern Lake Winnipesaukee in this 2021 survey. The landscape is defined by its complex shoreline, where Meredith Neck reaches out toward a cluster of islands including Bear Island, Threemile Island, and Black Cat Island. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several small burial sites, such as the Red Hill Cem and Bean Cem near the foothills of Red Hill, and the Brown Cem and Lee Cem in the northeast. The map documents the persistent recreational and industrial character of the region, from the Center Harbor Town Beach and Leavitt Park to the historic site of Lees Mill at the edge of Lees Pond, illustrating how modern settlement in Laconia remains inextricably linked to the surrounding waters and timbered heights.
