About this map

Sunapee Lake dominates this late-twentieth-century landscape, its shores dotted with established seasonal communities and traditional settlements. From the bustling Sunapee Harbor to the quieter stretches of Gardner Bay and Herrick Cove, the map documents a region deeply shaped by recreation and summer residence. The presence of Soo Nipi Park, Dewey Beach, and several golf courses underscores this identity, while landmarks like Mica Mine Hill point to the area's geological and extractive past.

Upland from the water, the terrain transitions into protected woodlands such as the Gile State Forest and Springfield Town Forest. The network of small villages like Georges Mills, Granliden, and Otterville remains connected by historic routes like Stagecoach Road, even as modern infrastructure like Interchange 12 on the interstate corridor reshapes local accessibility. Genealogists will find the Eastman Cem and various other marked burial sites useful for tracing family ties in this corner of Sullivan County.
