About this map

Holderness and East Holderness anchor the northern landscape of this Lakes Region study, where the intricate shoreline of Squam Lake meets a series of dramatic elevations. The topography is defined by prominent heights like Cotton Mtn and Shepard Hill, while the waters are dotted with numerous named landforms including Potato Island, Mooney Island, and Great Island. Further south, the settlement of Winona sits near the shores of Winona Lake and Lake Waukewan, showing the dense network of secondary roads and lakeside properties that characterize this part of New Hampshire.

Genealogists and local researchers can identify specific historic markers such as the Squam Bridge Cem near the Squam River Bridge, or trace the boundary lines where Grafton Co meets Belknap Co. The map records a complex hydrologic system, from the secluded Sky Pond and White Oak Pond to the larger Meredith Reservoir near the southeastern corner, illustrating how the natural terrain and water resources have shaped the development of communities like West Center Harbor.
