About this map

Bow Lake dominates the northern landscape of this region, its waters dotted with family-named islands like Beech Island and Pine Island. The village of Bow Lake Village sits on the northeastern shore, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by prominent ridges and hills, including Caverly Hill and Saddleback Mtn. This area has long been a crossroads, with the First New Hampshire Tpke and the Old Turnpike Rd cutting through the terrain, connecting settlements such as Northwood Ridge and Northwood Center.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family burial grounds and small community centers. From the Deerfield Parade Cem in the south to the Tasker Cem and Bennett Cem further north, the map documents the historic footprint of early residents. Local aviation history is also represented by the Northwood Airport and Murphy-Sherwood Park Airport, while the intricate network of brooks like Sherburne Brook and Kelsey Brook feeds into larger bodies such as Northwood Lake and the Lamprey River.
