About this map

Newport serves as the primary hub on the upper Sugar River during this mid-1980s survey, where the Boston and Maine RR winds through the river valley connecting smaller hamlets like Kelleyville and Guild. The landscape is dominated by the massive terrain of Mount Sunapee State Park, featuring the high-elevation Lake Solitude and the South Peak of the mountain. Long-distance recreation is evident through the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway Trail and the Pillsbury-Sunapee Corridor, which bridge the gap between Sunapee and Pillsbury State Park to the south.

Waterfront settlements such as Blodgett Landing and Edgemont line the shores of Sunapee Lake, which is dotted with islands like Great Island and Burkehaven Island. Moving away from the water, the geography transitions into the smaller rural crossroads of Goshen Four Corners and East Unity. Genealogists may find interest in St Patricks Cem, while local historians can trace the industrial footprint of older sites like Chandlers Mills.
