2012 Map of Lower Waterford

About this map

The Connecticut River carves a deep valley between New Hampshire and Vermont, anchoring a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and secluded water bodies. Small settlements like Lower Waterford and West Waterford sit along the northern banks, while higher ground to the south is marked by peaks such as Chamberlin Mountain and Gardner Mountain. The presence of Mining Hill suggests a history of local resource extraction, while the Ogontz White Mountain Camp near Ogontz Lake points to the region's long-standing role as a destination for seasonal recreation. Topography is further complicated by numerous brooks, including Scarritt Brook and Patten Brook, which drain into the main river system. This survey reveals a transition from riverside hamlets to high-elevation timberlands, preserved through precise contouring of the surrounding hills like Foster Hill and Mormon Hill.
