About this map

Laconia and its surrounding water bodies serve as the focal point of this 2018 survey, illustrating the complex geography of the New Hampshire Lakes Region. The map centers on the connection between Lake Winnisquam, Opechee Bay Reservoir, and the sprawling reaches of Lake Winnipesaukee. Significant shoreline development is visible at Weirs Beach and Lakeport, where the Weirs Channel provides a navigable link for recreational and commercial traffic.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial sites across the landscape, including Bayside Cem, Hillside Cem, and the Sacred Heart Cem near the Lakes Region Community College. The terrain rises sharply to the east toward the Belknap Mountains, featuring Gunstock Mtn and Mt Rowe, while the lower elevations are marked by unique features like the small cluster of islands known as The Witches and the extensive infrastructure of the Laconia Municipal Airport.
