About this map

Lower Shaker Village and Upper Shaker Village anchor the northwestern corner of this landscape, situated along the southern shores of Mascoma Lake. The settlement patterns here reflect a mix of historic communal sites and small crossroads hamlets like Montcalm and Enfield Center. The terrain is defined by the significant rise of Shaker Mountain and Croydon Mountain, which separate the lake basins from the scattered farms and woodlots of the interior.

Conservation and recreation appear as dominant land uses by the early 1980s, evidenced by the Enfield Wildlife Management Area and Gile Memorial Forest. Local history is preserved in sites such as the Purmort Cem and the distinctive Fish Market near Crystal Lake. The presence of modern infrastructure, including several numbered highway interchanges, highlights the area's role as a transit corridor between Lebanon and the surrounding hill towns.
