2018 Map of Northfield

About this map

Lake Winnisquam and the Winnipesaukee River corridor anchor this 2018 study of the Lakes Region, where the historical boundary between Belknap and Merrimack Counties follows the river's path. The twin settlements of Tilton and Northfield serve as the primary population centers, connected by the notable Tilton Island Park Bridge. Smaller communities such as Sanbornton, Lochmere, and East Tilton are interspersed among a landscape defined by significant elevations like Bean Hill and Mt Tug. For local historians, the presence of Sanbornton Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and Arch Cem provides clear reference points for genealogical research. The map captures a mix of residential development around Silver Lake and Gardners Grove contrasted with more rural reaches toward Forest Pond and the Hogg River, illustrating the modern balance of central New Hampshire's lake-and-river geography.
