About this map

Newfound Lake serves as the central focal point of this Northern New Hampshire landscape, its shoreline defined by Sanborn Bay and Pasquaney Bay. The surrounding terrain transitions from the elevations of Mount Crosby and Tenney Mountain down to the narrow valley floors where the Cockermouth River and Fowler River flow toward the lake. Small lakeside settlements at Hebron and East Hebron reflect a long-standing recreational and community character, highlighted by the presence of Camp Pasquaney and Camp Berea.

Geological features and local heritage are preserved at the Sculptured Rocks State Wayside Area and within family-named burial grounds like the Pratt Cem and Riverside Cem. The road network, including W Shore Rd and Alexandria Rd, provides access to these historical sites and seasonal camps, such as the Groton School Camp, illustrating how the region's geography has historically shaped both its permanent villages and its enduring identity as a seasonal retreat.
