1998 Map of North Grantham

About this map

Lower Shaker Village and Upper Shaker Village anchor the northern reaches of this New Hampshire landscape, situated along the shores of Mascoma Lake. The map reveals a region defined by its communal history and conservation efforts, including the Enfield State Wildlife Management Area and the Annie Duncan State Forest. As Interstate 89 cuts through the terrain, it passes through small settlements like Purmort and Montcalm, where local history is preserved in sites like the Purmort Cem. To the west and south, the terrain rises toward Methodist Hill and Snow Mountain, with the rural communities of East Plainfield and North Grantham situated in the valleys. This late-twentieth-century survey documents the persistent rural character of the Sullivan and Grafton County border, showing the network of brooks like Stony Brook and Newton Brook that feed into numerous secluded ponds, including Smith Pond and Leavitt Pond.
