2021 Map of Center Lovell

About this map

White Mountain National Forest dominates the western landscape of this Oxford County region, where the steep elevations of Stiles Mtn and Adams Mtn give way to the complex water systems of the Kezar River valley. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community organized around the long, irregular shores of Kezar Lake, from North Lovell down through Center Lovell to the southern settlement of Lovell. This area is particularly rich in genealogical markers, preserving numerous small burial grounds such as Smith Cem, Fox Cem, and Number Four Cem that dot the hillsides between the water and the forest boundary. The southeastern corner shows the transition to the The Plains near Fryeburg Harbor, while the western edge captures the isolated settlement of Stow along the Cold River, illustrating how the region's early development followed the narrow habitable corridors between significant peaks like Wiley Mtn and Colton Hill.
