About this map

New London and the surrounding highlands of Merrimack County are defined by a complex network of glacial ponds and prominent hills. The town serves as a regional center, anchored by the campus of Colby-Sawyer Coll and bordered by the sprawling waters of Pleasant Lake. Settlement patterns follow the winding valleys, with smaller communities like Elkins and Wilmot Flat established along the watercourses of Whitney Brook and Cascade Brook.

The landscape is punctuated by numerous named peaks, including Bog Mtn and Morgan Hill, which overlook a series of smaller water bodies such as Eagle Pond and Piper Pond. Local history is preserved in sites like the Old Main Street Cem and the small aviation hub at Eagles Nest Airport. This survey provides a clear view of the modern road network, including RT-11 and RT-4a, as they navigate the area's significant topographic relief.
