About this map

The Israel River winds through the heart of Lancaster, serving as a central geographic anchor for this Coos County settlement. The terrain transitions from the river valley into a series of prominent peaks, including Mt Pleasant and Prospect Mtn, which define the local horizon. The map details a well-established road network, such as Lancaster Rd and Jefferson Rd, connecting the main town to outlying areas like Grange and Riverton.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant value in the documentation of several burial grounds, including Clark Cem and East Whitefield Cem. Water bodies such as Martin Meadow Pond and Cherry Pond are noted in the southern reaches of the quadrangle, where the Johns River also emerges. The inclusion of the Mechanic Street Bridge and the state boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire highlights the area's position as a cross-border gateway along the Connecticut River.
