2018 Map of East Lempster

About this map

Lempster and East Lempster serve as the primary hubs in this high-elevation landscape where the Sullivan Co Cheshire Co boundary cuts through the hills. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and hollows, from Bean Mtn and Silver Mtn to the depths of Keyes Hollow and Dodge Hollow. This 2018 survey reveals a network of brooks and ponds feeding larger systems like the Ashuelot River, which flows through the eastern sector. Settlement patterns remain focused along historic corridors like the 2nd N H Tpke and Charlestown Tpke, connecting smaller nodes such as Marlow Junction and the site of Gee Mill. The presence of features like Russell Millpond and Barrett Pond suggests a long history of water management and local industry rooted in the area's complex hydrography, while family-named landmarks like Pollards Hill and Farnsworth Hill provide valuable points of reference for genealogists.
