About this map

The Winnipesaukee River and Tioga River converge at the historic industrial centers of Tilton and Northfield, where the landscape is defined by its manufacturing heritage and river crossings. This survey captures a dense collection of community landmarks, particularly a high concentration of burial sites including Saint Johns Cem, Tilton Arch Cem, and the Joshua Lane Burial Ground. To the north, the waters of Lake Winnisquam and Silver Lake anchor the settlements of Lochmere and East Tilton.

Tracing the path of the Railroad Trl highlights the shift from active rail service to modern recreational use along the riverbanks. The terrain rises sharply from the valley floor toward Mt Tug and Bean Hill, while peripheral settlements like Sanbornton and The Plains maintain a more dispersed character. For genealogists, the map provides a precise census of small family and community cemeteries like Hodgdon Cem and Clark Cem that dot the hillsides away from the primary town centers.
