1942 Map of Lovewell Mountain

About this map

Lovewell Mountain and its surrounding granite peaks define the topography of this corner of New Hampshire during the mid-1930s revision. This survey by Hersey Munroe and R.L.McCammon details a landscape of high-elevation ponds and small, industrious settlements. Small hamlets like Mill Village and East Lempster are connected by improved dirt roads, while the Ashuelot River and its various millponds, such as Russell Millpond, suggest a legacy of water-powered industry. The presence of Advent Ch and several district schools, including School No 5 and Dole Sch, provides a clear view of the social fabric of these rural towns before modern expansion. Significant recreation landmarks like Camp Merriewood and Windsor Mtn Camps highlight the area's early 20th-century character as a summer retreat. The map also records the boundary lines between Sullivan, Cheshire, and Hillsboro counties as they intersect this highland region.
