About this map

Mount Sunapee and its surrounding highlands dominate this landscape where the borders of Sullivan and Merrimack counties meet. The map documents the recreational and natural layout of the region, anchored by the southern reach of Sunapee Lake and its cluster of islands including Great Island and Star Island. Small settlements like Newbury, Edgemont, and Burkehaven are situated along the shoreline and the state's roadway network, reflecting a long history of lakeside community and tourism.

Higher elevations are marked by distinctive peaks and outlooks, such as Sunapee Mtn, North Peak, and Lucias Lookout. Tucked into the steep terrain near the summit of the range is Lake Solitude, the source of Andrew Brook. To the east, the terrain descends toward South Newbury and Bear Hill, while the western slopes drain toward Mountainview Lake and Gunnison Brook, showing the complex watershed that defines this part of the New Hampshire uplands.
