About this map

The Connecticut River forms the western boundary of this New Hampshire landscape, where the terrain rises from the riverbanks toward the peaks of the White Mountain National Forest. Central to the region's geography is the massive Mascoma Lake, which features several named islands including North Island and Relham Island. The cultural history of the area is evident in the presence of Enfield and landmarks such as the Shaker Bridge and Shaker Hill, reflecting the legacy of the Shaker community on the lake's southern shores.

Upland settlements like Hanover Center and Etna are connected by a network of historic routes including Wolfeboro Road and Ruddsboro Road. Outdoor recreation and conservation are highlighted by the Appalachian Trail winding through the high ground of Moose Mountain, past peaks such as North Peak and South Peak. The map records a mix of residential growth and preserved wilderness during the mid-1990s, capturing the area before significant modern development altered the rural character of these Grafton County towns.
