1981 Map of Northwood

About this map

Bow Lake dominates the northern terrain of this landscape, its shoreline dotted with named islands like Loon Island and York Island while serving as a hub for local recreation. The settlement pattern follows a distinct linear progression along the highway corridors, connecting a series of village centers including Northwood Narrows, Northwood Center, and Northwood Ridge. These communities reflect the upland development of Rockingham County, where small-scale agriculture and early rural industry integrated with the numerous water bodies.
