1984 Map of Newport

About this map

Newport serves as the primary hub in this mid-1980s survey, situated where the Sugar River meets its South Branch. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of Mount Sunapee State Park, which separate the river valleys from the expansive Sunapee Lake. This map captures a distinct network of small settlements and hamlets, including Guild, Goshen, and Newbury, many of which developed around the region's historic rail and water resources. The presence of Sunapee Station and Blodgett Landing points to the area's long-standing role as a destination for transportation and recreation. To the south, protected lands like Pillsbury State Park are linked by the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway Trail, illustrating a conservation corridor that preserves the character of the Sullivan County highlands. Genealogists can find numerous family-named landmarks such as Thatcher Hill, Gunnison Road, and Babb Hill scattered throughout the rural townships.
