1997 Map of Second Connecticut Lake

About this map

The headwaters of the Connecticut River dominate this remote northern landscape, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada defines the northern edge of the terrain. The map traces the river's origin through a chain of high-elevation water bodies, starting at the Fourth Connecticut Lake within the Fourth Connecticut Lake State Preserve and descending through the Third Connecticut Lake and Second Connecticut Lake. This area of Pittsburg, New Hampshire, is largely defined by the Connecticut Lakes State Forest, with small clusters of development like Idlewild on the western shore of the largest lake. The topographic detail captures the intricate drainage system of the North Country, including the East Inlet Flowage, Scott Bog, and numerous brooks like Moose Brook and Robie Brook that feed into the Connecticut valley from the surrounding peaks of Salmon Mountain and Deer Mtn.
