About this map

Lake Sunapee dominates this landscape, its western and northern shores dotted with distinct landing points and settlements including Lakeside, Georges Mills, and Sunapee. The shoreline is marked by notable navigation aids like the Herrick Cove Lighthouse and the Loon Lighthouse near Loon Island, reflecting a long history of waterborne activity. Inland, the terrain rises toward several named heights such as Mica Mine Hill and Prospect Hill, while the Sugar River drains the lake to the west.

Social and recreational geography is well-documented through sites like Camp Coniston (YMCA) on Lake Coniston, Wildwood Forest Campground, and the neighborhood of Granliden. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites like the Eastman Cem and the unnamed Cemetery near Cemetery Hill, alongside smaller hamlets like Otterville and Lower Village. The network of backroads, including Old Grantham Rd and Johnson Farm Rd, provides a detailed view of the rural residential patterns established by 2012.
