2012 Map of Spofford

About this map

Spofford Lake and its central Pierces Island anchor this area of Cheshire County, where the hills of New Hampshire meet the Connecticut River. The landscape is defined by its small settlements and preserved cultural landmarks, including the Park Hill Meeting House and the East Putney Stone Arch Bridge crossing E Putney Brook. To the north, the river valley narrows near East Putney, while to the east, the terrain rises toward Hyland Hill State Forest and Pistareen Mountain. This modern survey documents the contemporary footprint of local recreation and agriculture, from Camp Notre Dame on the lake's northern shore to the Roads End Farm Ski Area near Chesterfield. Family history and local heritage are visible in the many cemeteries like North Cem and the small airfield at Pilgrim's Home Airfield, reflecting a rural character that persists despite the network of roads connecting Westmoreland and Spofford.
