About this map

Pillsbury State Park and a network of state forests dominate this upland landscape where the borders of Sullivan, Cheshire, and Hillsborough counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of water bodies and hills, from Millen Lake and Ashuelot Pond to the heights of Bean Mtn and Lovewell Mountain. Settlement is concentrated in small villages such as East Lempster and Washington, connected by the historic Dartmouth College Highway.

Smaller hamlets like Marlow Junction and Mill Village reflect a local economy historically tied to water power, evidenced by features like Russell Millpond and Gee Mill. For genealogists and researchers, the map identifies numerous cemeteries marked Cem, isolated landmarks like the Advent Ch, and organized youth camps including Camp Merriwoode and Windsor Mtn Camps, providing a clear view of the region's mid-century rural character and recreational growth.
