About this map

Stoddard and the surrounding townships of Sullivan and Cheshire counties are defined by a network of upland lakes and small mill settlements in this 1950s study. The rugged landscape is dominated by the Ashuelot River and numerous water bodies like Granite Lake, Island Pond, and Nubanusit Lake. Cultural landmarks reflect the region's rural heritage, including the Meetinghouse and the Advent Ch near Oak Hill.

Transport and recreation are intertwined throughout the quadrangle, where the Dartmouth College Highway provides a primary artery through Lempster and Marlow. The map documents significant local landmarks like the Pitcher Mtn Fire Tower and the Monadnock-Sunapee Trail, alongside several state-managed lands such as Honey Brook State Forest. Local genealogy and industry are preserved in the locations of Jeffs Cem, Leominster Corner, and various ponds that once powered the region's early mills.
