1984 Map of Lovewell Mountain

About this map

Pillsbury State Park and the high ridges of Lovewell Mountain dominate this landscape on the border of Sullivan, Cheshire, and Merrimack counties. The terrain is characterized by a high density of small ponds and wetlands, including Ashuelot Pond, Millen Lake, and Sand Pond, which feed the headwaters of the Ashuelot River. Settlement is concentrated in small upland villages such as Washington, East Washington, and East Lempster, where the road network connects scattered farmsteads and rural homes. The presence of Gee Mill and Shedd suggests a history of localized industry tied to the region's timber and water resources.
