2021 Map of North Grantham

About this map

Lower Shaker Village and Upper Shaker Village sit along the southwestern shore of Mascoma Lake, marking the historical presence of the Shaker community in this portion of Grafton County. This upland landscape is defined by a series of prominent peaks, including Shaker Mtn, Methodist Hill, and the high ridgeline of Croydon Mtn. The boundary between Grafton and Sullivan counties cuts across the rugged center of the map, separating the northern settlements near Lebanon from the southern reaches of North Grantham. Numerous small water bodies such as Lily Pond, Miller Pond, and Grass Pond are scattered throughout the hills, feeding a network of drainages like Skinner Brook and Newton Brook. Local history is preserved in small burial grounds like Follensbee Cem and Purmort Cem, while old thoroughfares like the Croydon Tpke provide evidence of early travel routes through the New Hampshire interior.
