About this map

Ashuelot Pond and the headwaters of the Ashuelot River dominate the landscape of this southern Sullivan County highland during the late 1990s. The terrain is defined by its water and woods, where Honey Brook State Forest and the Dodge Brook State Forest border a network of small millponds and family-named peaks like Kennedy Hill and Bean Mtn. Small settlements and historic crossroads such as Marlow Junction, East Lempster, and Dodge Hollow are connected by winding local routes including Lovejoy Road and Pitkin Road.

Tracing the rural infrastructure reveals remnants of localized industry at Gee Mill and the Russell Millpond, alongside civic markers like the Perkins Sch and the Advent Ch near Washington. The sheet also documents recreation and conservation, noting the Monadnock-Sunapee Trail traversing the eastern ridges and several Sand & Gravel Pits that suggest the area's geological utility. This is a detailed look at a quiet New Hampshire interior before the turn of the millennium.
