1942 Map of Lovewell Mountain

About this map

Lovewell Mountain anchors a landscape defined by its high-altitude ponds and scattered rural settlements across the border of Sullivan and Cheshire Counties. This 1942 edition reflects a region of New Hampshire where early industrial sites like Gee Mill and Mill Village persisted alongside a growing recreational footprint, seen in the camps and Dodge State Forest. The map documents a dense network of upland roads connecting small centers such as Marlow, Stoddard, and East Washington. Notable local landmarks like the Advent Ch, School No 5, and the Meetinghouse in the south provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing family locations in these hill towns. The intricate drainage of the Ashuelot River and its numerous reservoirs, including Ashuelot Pond and Highland Lake, illustrates the vital role of water management in both the historical mill economy and the surrounding timberlands.
