2012 Map of Lake Francis

About this map

The upper Connecticut River corridor defines this northern New Hampshire landscape, where the waters of Lake Francis serve as a central anchor for the local geography. Small settlements like Happy Corner and The Glen mark the human presence in a territory dominated by timbered ridges and glacial water bodies. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is represented by crossing points such as the Happy Corner Bridge and River Road Bridge, which facilitate travel through the dense network of local routes like Indian Stream Rd and Shatney Rd. From the height of Bear Mountain to the shores of Back Lake, the terrain reflects a balance of recreation and wilderness typical of Coos County. Significant tributary systems, including Perry Stream and Indian Stream, feed into the main river channel, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the northern woods.
