About this map

Lower Shaker Village and Upper Shaker Village stand along the western shore of Mascoma Lake, anchoring a landscape defined by traditional New England settlements and a dense network of water bodies. This mid-1980s survey captures the area during a period of transition, where established rural communities like Enfield Center and Montcalm are situated among the high ridges of Shaker Mountain and Croydon Mountain. The mapping of several wildlife management areas, including the Enfield Wildlife Management Area, suggests a shift toward conservation and recreation.

Local history details are abundant, from the Purmort Cem near Montcalm Hill to the Crystal Lake Dam on Crystal Lake. Notable landmarks such as the Fish Market and a quarry north of Griffin Pond indicate the local commerce and industry of the era. The presence of multiple interchanges along the western corridor highlights the evolving transportation network connecting the town of Enfield with surrounding Grafton and Sullivan County communities.
