About this map

Newport serves as the primary hub in this Sullivan County landscape, where the Sugar River and its southern branch dictate the local geography. Several historic burial grounds, including Saint Patricks Cem, Pine Street Cem, and Maple Street Cem, are clustered near the town center, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research. The map tracks the rural character of the region through small settlements like Kelleyville and Chandlers Mills, as well as the transition into the southern highlands marked by Potato Hill and Beckwith Hill.

Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, from the larger waters of Crescent Lake and Gilman Pond to smaller mountain flows like Purmort Brook and Giles Brook. Local transportation routes, such as 2nd N H Tpke and Lempster St, connect these scattered communities, while family-named roads like Barton Whitney Rd and Quimby Farm Rd offer clues to the area's agricultural and land-ownership history.
