2018 Map of Lancaster

About this map

Lancaster sits at a geographic crossroads in Coos County where the Israel River joins the Connecticut River at the Vermont border. This modern topographic survey shows the town’s development concentrated near the Mechanic Street Bridge and along major routes like Portland St. Beyond the town center, the landscape is defined by significant elevations such as Mt Pleasant and Prospect Mtn, the latter protected within Weeks State Park. The southern portion of the quadrangle transitions into a complex wetland system featuring Little Cherry Pond and Cherry Pond, which are critical habitats near the small community of Baileys. Local genealogists can locate several historic burial grounds, including Clark Cem and Whitefield Cem, situated along the winding rural roads that connect these scattered North Country settlements.
