1987 Map of Newfound Lake

About this map

Newfound Lake dominates this part of New Hampshire, where the waters of the Cockermouth River and Fowler River feed into the expansive basin. The 1980s landscape is defined by its recreation and conservation areas, from the shoreline of Wellington State Beach Park to the wooded reaches of Welton Falls State Forest. This survey documents the specific topographical transition from the high peaks of Mount Crosby and Tenney Mountain down to the bays and inlets of the lake, including Hebron Bay and Pasquaney Bay. Small settlements like Hebron and Groton serve as the primary hubs, while the map records more secluded landmarks such as the Sculptured Rocks State Wayside Area and several cemeteries that speak to the long human presence in this mountainous region.
