1984 Map of Lovewell Mountain

About this map

Pillsbury State Park dominates the high ground of the Sunapee Ridge, where the headwaters of the Ashuelot River begin their descent through a landscape of glacial ponds and granite heights. This mid-1980s survey captures the rural character of the Sullivan County highlands, centered on the historic town of Washington and its outlying neighbor East Washington. The map reveals a settlement pattern defined by small mill sites and crossroads like Gee Mill and Marlow Junction, connected by winding routes such as Woodward Road. Massive conservation tracts, including Dodge Brook State Forest and Honey Brook State Forest, preserve the rugged wooded character of the terrain surrounding Lovewell Mountain. Genealogists will find interest in the scattered residential markers near Dodge Hollow and Shedd, showing the persistent footprint of mountain farming and early timber industry in this corner of New Hampshire.
