About this map

Lovewell Mountain dominates the central terrain of this mid-century survey, surrounded by a complex network of upland ponds and small manufacturing sites. The landscape reflects a legacy of water-powered industry, with several mills identified across the region, including Gee Mill near Marlow Junction and Woods Mill further south. These local operations supported small settlements like East Lempster and Mill Village, which grew around established crossings and timber resources.

Conservation areas such as Pillsbury State Park and Honey Brook State Forest highlight the transition toward recreation and forest management by the late 1950s. The map also traces the Dartmouth College Highway as it winds through the granite hills, alongside significant hiking routes like the Monadnock-Sunapee Trail. For genealogists, the numerous scattered Cem labels provide vital clues for locating family plots near historic church sites like the Advent Ch.
