1998 Map of New London

About this map

New London serves as the focal point of this Merrimack County landscape, where the campus of Colby Jr College is established near the hills above Pleasant Lake. The late-twentieth-century terrain is defined by a dense network of conservation lands and managed forests, including the Gile State Memorial Forest and the Colby Town Sanctuary, reflecting a transition from the area's industrial past toward recreation and preservation. Small settlements like Elkins, Wilmot Flat, and South Danbury (Converse Sta) cluster along the brooks and crossroads, while local heritage is preserved in sites like Scytheville Town Park. Numerous water bodies such as Eagle Pond and Tannery Pond are connected by a web of mountain streams like Frazier Brook and Cascade Brook, framing the various hills and ridges that dominate the New Hampshire uplands.
