2012 Map of Lancaster

About this map

The Israel River winds through this northern New Hampshire landscape, passing through the primary settlement of Lancaster before its confluence with the Connecticut River. This 2012 survey captures the village's historic layout, including the Mechanic Street Bridge and several burial sites like Clark Cem. The area is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, such as Mount Pleasant and Prospect Mountain, which overlook the surrounding valley. Local transportation and recreation are well-documented, with routes like Weeks State Park Rd providing access to the higher elevations, while Israel River Campground and Rogers Campground suggest the region's modern appeal for visitors. Smaller outlying communities like Grange, Riverton, and Baileys are also noted, showing the persistence of rural settlements established along the river and its many tributaries, including Otter Brook and Stalbird Brook.
