About this map

Lake Warren and the small valley settlements of the northern Cheshire County highlands define this mid-2010s landscape. The map details the rural character of communities like East Alstead, Alstead Center, and Mill Hollow along the northern edge, transitioning south through Shaws Corner and Roundys Corner toward the Ashuelot River. The village of Gilsum is a focal point near the eastern boundary, notable for the nearby Gilsum Stone Arch Bridge, a significant local landmark.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds including Center Cem, Slade Cem, and Crehore Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous family-named peaks and ridges such as Prentice Hill, Marvin Hill, and Joslin Hill, which frame the water system of Surry Mountain Lake and its many tributary brooks. This survey provides a precise look at the modern road network, from RT-12a to winding local routes like Old Walpole Rd.
